I spoke to Dalt this morning and mentioned I would be in Spanish Fork this afternoon. He sent me a text later in the day saying he needed to go to Springville.... Might as well take a look at the river and hey, we both happened to have our gear on hand (like a good opportunistic fisherman does).
It was getting dark so we hurried to the next hole. Dalt floated the bubble line right next to a steep cliff and landed the fish of the day. Not bad at all...
We fished a few more holes and caught a few more fish. The potential is definitely there on this stretch but it was tough for a while there. It's always rewarding to go to a new stream and land fish. This drainage is pretty magical at its head waters with Diamond Creek giving way to 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th Water Creeks. I still need to give these creeks the attention they deserve.
We met at the mouth of the canyon after work had ended and set out to see what we could find with the little light that remained. Not too far up the canyon we found a pull out and went down to the river to rig up. The water was murky but there were boot prints in the mud so we knew there were fish.
After several holes that looked promising we started passing comments like "well, we may get skunked" "the water is pretty murky" "hey, it’s new water" and "its okay, this isn’t our home water"....
We switch up bugs several times and I finally landed a nice healthy brown.
The Browns were all very light colored. Depending on the river wild browns vary in hue. Some rivers they are very dark with not as much color and sometimes they are light with the red spots showing up alot more.
Thanks, Chris Giles
