Fish Brain Fly Fishing Blog: Middle Provo With Lots of Laughs

On Sunday Danny J, Johno McGuin and myself decided to go fish the Middle Provo and we had a great time. As you all know this time of year brings extremely bad air quality to the Wasatch front (or "Fog" as the local news likes to call it) and an escape to the Wasatch back was a welcome excursion...

The plan was to leave at 10:00 so we could be fishing during the peak hours or 12:00-3:00 but when 10:10 rolled around I thought I better give John a call to make sure he was on his way. He answered and right off the bat I could tell he was laying in bed. "I wasn't sure if we were still going because of all the snow" me..."Yes we are, are you going to come with us?" John... "I will be to your house in 5 minutes".

35 minutes later he rolled into the drive way and we were off and giving John a hard time the whole way there. Haha Classic.

Once we were on the river we realized what a perfect day it was with clear blue skies and a bright sun shinning down, although the day ended with cloudy skies.

We covered a bunch of ground and we all caught some nice fish. After our cold session we went to Davanza's at Kimball's Junction for some food. My cheeks and stomach hurt from laughing so much and I was in bed early that night. There is something about being outside in the cold all day that makes you extremely tired at night...

We had a few glitches however with John snapping off his tip trying to chip ice from his guides and Danny J had a part break on his frozen reel. With warranties and a few new parts they will be back to good as new in no time.

We all caught 7-8 fish on various bugs and I hope to get out again soon. Enjoy a few pictures...
