4 years ago, fish this size filled this stream. Poor management, which red necks love destroyed this fishery in a matter of a few years. 8 fish limit and no size regulations. I litterally watched stringer after stringer pulled out this section. That's how delicate trout fisheries are, and this was a great example of what can happen in a matter of months. Which is a shame as these are unique species that spawn in the fall, most rainbow trout spawn during other of season.
Lu's fish of the day.. This fish took us for a wild ride down river, ac-cross, and down some more, until we finally ended up with this Bow in the net..
Utah Fly Fishing 2011. Fly Fishing Utah's Scenic Back Country with the Cowfers on a Five Day Fishing Excursion. We hit some of Utah's most productive trout waters and caught more quality fish than have been seen in years.
This fish was a monster that Monique was thrilled to have caught, and said it made her day in a big fat Rainbow trout sort of way...
Craig's big wild morning brown trout. A dam nice fish, for a first timer with a fly rod. Not the fact he hooked the trout, but the fact he landed it on a size 22 Pale Morning Dun.
So close, but yet so far away... This where fish are often lost, so close to the net.
Another fish hooked by Craig in the morning hours.
First fish to the net.
After 2 evenings of fishing, we finally hooked up with a rainbow. They proved to be more elusive than normal, but after Dan hooked up he said " I see color " Referring to a rainbow trout... The great thing about certain sections of the Provo river is you have the opportunity to catch both, and if you know where to fish, in good healthy sizes as well.
