Warm Water Fishing - flygoddess - 09-01-2014 I have been fishing about every day minus therapy days. Trying to makeup for the month I missed[laugh] Jordan river is right there and it is always interesting. But last night was very interesting. I have been seeing a couple Turtles since Christmas. They pop their head up for a few minutes then gone. I was fishing a Gartside Gurgler in white with a Rainy's Popcorn ball dropper about 20" down. I also use a small clear Thingamabobber. I had cast and something was tapping my fly as the indy was bopping a bit. All of a sudden the turtle comes up about 2 feet away from my indy. I let it sit, turtle went down. He then came up about a foot away from my indy. Again I let it sit, he dove again, and the indy went under and took off. I pulled and honestly thought I was bringing in a branch, but nope...Mr. Turtle took the popcorn ball. Sorry on the blurry picture, but he wanted back in the water. I got the hook out and camera photo him. He was 10" wide! He is back swimming around This morning I found out what was tapping my flies I am so hooked.

I hooked one last year on the low Provo but I just cut the leader.
