provo river fun (report)

[Hellsangler69]

Fishboy , when the fishing slows for the drys , tie on a big wooly bugger and strip it . Sometimes they like it fast too ! I haven't fished the middle that much but this time of year they can go crazy for some big streamers .Maybe a muddler to imintate a sculpin . I use to fish he lower alot years ago and learned some things from the old timers back then . I,m mostly a nymph fisherman so I would fish them most of the time but I could adjust my weight and keep hookin fish with nymphs . Some of the deeper pools the fish would move up or down after getting tired of being hooked ( so I thought ) so I would add weight or remove to get to where they were . I use to hook 30 to 50 fish a day doing this . It helps to see them so you know they are feeding and have a idea what the are feeding on . I use to fish the streamers first in the morning . this is before the sun hits the water . then nymphs till about 1:00 and switch to drys if I had to and fished streamers after 4 or 5 pm . Tiny stuff is what has always work on the lower Provo . I hooked a 20"brown on a size 26 hook once on the lower Provo . and all it had on it was thread and and a tip of feather . Way to many people on there anymore for me to go except at night he he . I just remember telling this guy on the provo he shouldn't cross in that area and the next thing I seen was just a hat floating on the water . He managed to get back to shore but I think he broke his rod in the process .It was very hard to keep from laughing , but he could of drown in front of me . Keep hookin them and don't get you're feet wet . Tight lines
