The Middle Provo River here in Utah is a very reliable river that constantly produces fish caught by artificial flies. Like all rivers, some days are more productive than others. On these days the fish appear to be less picky and easier to catch. Other times fishing requires precision and patience, but fish can still be enticed by well fished flies. Today the fish required some patience and well drifted flies. Fish were caught, but our clients were required to pay their dues by casting continuously hoping to pass by a willing fish. With instruction from our guides, our clients hooked a good number of fish, and the river once again yielded its dividends to beginning fishermen. We fished from 11:00 until 3:00 and all four hour fished identically with fish being caught here and there. PMD nymphs and caddis larva imitations were the hot ticket once again. We saw very few fish rise, so we stuck with nymphs for the duration of the outing. Utah Pro Fly Fishing guides had a fun group of fishers, and everyone enjoyed their time on the river.

Flies that worked today:

Splitcase PMD Emerger
Cased Caddis

Today’s flows were: 345 cfs

A couple months ago I had a group come out fly fishing who stayed in Salt Lake City and I took them up to Logan, Ut and it was an absolute blast.  They later e-mailed me saying they wanted my address because they had something they wanted to send me.  What a treat when I got it in the mail.  It was a great Fly Fishing movie and an extra $40 tip!  wow!  We all do our work everyday and it’s always a pleasure working with people who make you feel special.  This group did it, thanks a lot McComas!

Review below added Sept 2, 2010, thanks for the review:

I know they had a ton of fun by looking at these pictures of them standing in the fly fishing river with their trout.

What you can’t tell from these photos is that these bright, fun, entrepreneurs  helped me see the world through clearer lenses, thanks!  I was grateful for this day on the water with my new friends, Alan and Cindy, who opened my eyes to a new level of awareness.  Thanks!

Nice fish Gregory Brooks!

So here’s a good story for ya:  I was guiding Greg out on the Provo River on a full day trip.  We had already landed numerous fish before the above was caught.  We Greg hooked on to the fish above we both were like wow.  The next thought I had was lets get this sucker in the net, so I ask Greg the question, “you wanna land this fish?” his response: “heck ya I wanna land him!”  To me, it was a serious question, I knew he would have to listen and walk him down stream in order to get him into shallow water and into the net.  He did great landing him but we had a good laugh once the fish was in the net.

After we got him in, the joke of the day was:

Q – “Wanna land this fish?”

A – “Heck ya I wanna land ‘em”

Come out and book a fly fishing trip with one of our fishing guides in Utah.

It was another great day on the water, fishing has been good, PMD’s are hatching and the fishing has been great.  It is fun to have Rick out time and again, we have a great relationship and he knows I will always be a Professional Fly Fishing Guide Service in Utah available at his request and we keep doing our part to bring him and his great crew back by delivering quality experiences.

The video and the fly fishing pictures below says it all:

Nice Fish Rick!  This rainbow was gigantic…the girth was awesome!

Nice picture Mike,It’s always fun to have this captured on film too!

Nice Fish Terry!

All of the fish caught above took a long time to bring in.  It was very rewarding for me to take out this fly fishing tour and see such dramatic improvements in being able to land big fish so quickly.  I guess all it took was a couple “big ones that got away” to put the “better figure this out fast” learning mode in.

Thanks again for choosing Utah Pro Fly Fishing guys!

…is always a good time, but on your birthday with the right group, just makes it that much more fun.

Jim, a national corporate patent lawyer, has now come out and fished with me now for 3 trips. This time he brought out two boys that he flew out from California, Ryan and Dillon.  The group was a blast! They picked up fly fishing on the Lower Provo River very quickly and were catching BIG fish quick!

Right as we got to the fishing hole Dillon caught the first fish that was really nice.

Jim caught the most fish.  It might have been his patience and methodical fishing.  Jim stayed in one spot for a good two hours and just kept getting them.

In the same hole where Jim was slaying them Ryan had a fish on and a huge black stallion started charging across the river, it freaked us out so we got out of the river and checked out a horse show from shore, we recorded it and posted it to youtube below

What an enjoyable Utah fly fishing experience!

I was in Utah for work and had a free day, so I decided to use it fly fishing.  I did some research on line for a guide and all the information I found on Utah Pro Fly Fishing was positive, their website provide good information and the rates were the best I found.  I was not disappointed with my choice one bit.  My guide, Gilbert Rowley, provided me with all the gear I needed, and it was in great condition.  Gilbert showed me a couple things in the morning to get me going and we were off catching fish, 20 plus in all, with me losing just as many.  His knowledge of the water, fish, and the ecology of the river, no doubt played a huge part in the day’s success.  I’ve fished with several guides before, and Gilbert was by far the best.  When things slowed up we checked and changed gear, we tried different fishing styles and fished many different holes along the river.  When some bad habits crept into my fishing, Gilbert was there to remind me and provide guidance on fixing them.  As my fly fishing skills improved through out the day, Gilbert got me to try more challenging fly fishing techniques and parts of the river.  I had an awesome day and the next time I’m in Northern Utah with some free time I’ll be giving Utah Pro Fly Fishing a call.
