Provo River

Early Spring and a Hatch or Two

When the fishing is great, the great do whatever it takes to be on the water. This past week the fishing has been great. The famed Blue Wing Olive Mayfly has been hatching daily on a local trout stream, bringing some of the best top water action of the year, as well as producing a hatch of die hard fisherman. With the fishing off the charts I couldn’t sit around until Saturday to get back on the water. Fortunately I have a flexible job and was able to take a couple of half days and fish the river with some friends as well as hit it on Sat.  So with 4 days on the water this week, I was able to witness first hand the majestic beauty that God has giving us to experience and respect. During these days I have learned some great lessons about fly fishing as well as life. So here they are:

Winter and Me

The only consistent part of this winters weather is that it has been inconsistent. Some days feel like spring is just around the corner and others are just plain cold and full of that white stuff that has made Utah famous. As an avid fishermen and snowboarder I am in paradise every winter. This years weather has given a  nice balance of deep pow and thick midge hatches.

Fighting Midges

I was so excited about getting out on the river this past Saturday that I could barley think straight. I was acting crazy, like a kid anticipating Christmas morning.  But honestly, what avid fly fishermen wouldn’t be excited about amazing dry fly action in the middle of the winter?

Thanks-Giving Morning

Provo Morning

Thanksgiving to most is a time to be with family and friends. For the first time in 27 yrs I found myself wondering what I was going to do before the big feast. Normally I have plans to play football or basketball with the family, but with Thanksgiving Trouteveryone in Cali visiting my bro, I found myself free until noon. So, I decided to hit the river and spend a little time with my third family (The LP). I am glad I did, the scenery was serine. You know those freezing winter mornings where the steam lifts off the water like hatching BWOs and fills the canyon walls. The fish were even in the giving spirit in the short time I spent on a familar run. It really was a great time to stop and reflect on what is important in life and think about those that I am thankful for. It was a great way to spend a Thanksgiving morning.
