Fall Fishing

Its that time again. Its cooling down and that means its time to Try to get that Big Trout that you have been looking for. They are getting ready for the winter and Just wanting to eat as much as they can before the food starts to dwindle. The browns and brookies are getting for the spawn so they really aggressive on the feeding right now. Personally I love to fish this time year not just for the chance to catch some really great trout, but also to enjoy the changing colors and the beauty of the canyons and rivers. I would recommend using nymphs, streamers, and mouse patterns. The fish are going be turning on each other as food a bit more as it continues to cool and so anything that looks like a baitfish is going to be great. Have some fun and enjoy the fall fishing.

Provo river,warm winter

The Provo river right now has some great dry fly hatches going on. Blue winged olives and small midges are plentiful and the fish are willing to bite. They are also going after nymphs and some streamers. Hope you can get out and have tight lines.

Great Fishing

There is still some of the best fishing of the year going on in all the rivers. The brown trout are very active and you can get a lot of aggression strikes as well as feeding. I would recommend using streamers or nymphs.

Still Going

The Hoppers and terrestrials are still going strong even with the leaves changing. Its a great time to be fishing for those big hungry fish before winter. they really want to get all the calories they can get. The browns are in their spots eating all they can. When you think about some of the best fishing of the year combined with the beauty of fall its time to go out and get those fish.

Late summer

Right now the best rigs are hopper droppers and attractor dropper rigs. The Provo is good and the Weber is picking up. If you want to hit the big fish go early in the morning or late evening. Lets get out and get some fish!!!

Fishing the rivers

Right now is the perfect time to go out and fish the streams and rivers. We have tons of terrestrials and dry flies as well as nymphs that are hot right now.
There are some great articulated patterns that are working great great on the Provo and the Green. The Weber and the Logan are still running highg but the fishing has gotten better if you know where and what to use.

Starvation Resevior and few other places

Starvation had some good fishing for me today. The fish are eating scuds and leeches so you have to get down below the surface to catch them. I was in a remote part of the reservoir and the fish were big. I didn't catch a fish under 16" the biggest was about 20". I didn't see one with the Cabelas tag for a million dollars on it but I'm going to keep looking.
I passed strawberry reservoir and it was flooded and looked like it was crowded. I also passed provo river and it looked great. I'm usually one to avoid it due to crowds but seemed like it wasn't crowded at all today. Jordanelle is looking nice for fishing as well. Lets get out and get some fish.

Flooding

with all of the run off and the rain it is harder than ever to get those fish on your hook. The best thing to do is to try small slower tributary streams and use heavy flies to get down where the fish are holding. If you're having problems finding the fish I would be happy to gelp you out in getting the proper location and depth. Lets go get some fish.
Remember we are posting how activr the fish are going to be the evening before on our Facebook page.

Overcast weather combined with all the run off makes for some really murky and low visiblity for the fish the best thing to fish with right now is some bait. The reason being is that the fish are looking forfood using their sense of smell and what ever settles into their holds. These holds are down where the current is slower so they use less energy and don't get washed away or hit with debris. The difficulty for fly fishing is quite high due to the speed of the water and the visibility. The trick is to use the heavy flies with tungsten to get down into the fish holds. Now lets get out and get some fish!!!

Provo River

There was a decent hatch of blue winged olives (BWO) on the Provo river. This was a great chance to get out and get those fish. They were rising and taking as many as they could. I hope this isn't the last one before the spring run off makes it better to be bait fishing. With all the snow and moisture we had better be ready for a lot of run off. Let s get out there and get those fish!!!
