Selective feeders - ScottyP - 02-13-2006 I went to the church of Provo Canyon today for a few hours. Best day I've had winter fly fishing this year so far. The strange thing about today is that I caught all rainbows. Landed 3 of them and had 3 rainbows and 1 brown get off. Now I know the specific area I fished has more rainbows in it than any other section of the LP, but the rainbows were the only ones that wanted to eat my sow pattern I was using. The browns wouldn't touch it, but the bows would move out of their way for it and hit it hard. I found a pod of browns and made several drifts over 3 different specific fish several times each and they just werent interested. Any one else experience this before? I thought it was a little strange. The first fish I landed was an absolutely beautifull specimen. Football shaped, bright red stripe, heavy spotting. One of the finest provo bows I've ever landed. The one brown I hooked I think took a 22 zebra I had dropped off the sow before I switched to a double sow rig.

I would suspect that roe patterns will get those browns to move on it. [signature] Re: [ScottyP] Selective feeders - maddawg - 02-14-2006 I love the Anyriver church. So much freedom. Thanks for the report. I'm very envious. How crowded was the river? Trent [signature] Re: [maddawg] Selective feeders - ScottyP - 02-15-2006 Sunday was not crowded at all. Had a very popular stretch to myself for over two hours-- no one to be seen as far as I could see up and down river untill about 3:00 (I guess the other church got out then). Go on a weekday and it's even better[] [signature] Re: [ScottyP] Selective feeders - maddawg - 02-15-2006 Thanks for the info. I'll have to make it a point of getting out there [signature] Re: [maddawg] Selective feeders - flygoddess - 02-15-2006 Me too if I can get Mother Nature to work with me a little.

Any advice for fishing in or near capitol reef? [signature] Re: [maddawg] Selective feeders - flygoddess - 02-15-2006 You got it. Oh! my aching back.... not enough to start up the ol' blower so it is getting the hand job[] [signature] Re: [flygoddess] Selective feeders - maddawg - 02-15-2006 I see lol [signature] Re: [maddawg] Selective feeders - IceRod - 02-22-2006 Capitol Reef. You may get a few bottom feeders inside of the park. For trout hit the Bicknell flats by the town of Bicknell. Ask a local when you get there. [signature] Re: [IceRod] Selective feeders - maddawg - 02-22-2006 Unfortunatly I didn't get the time to fish. The water was high and murky. Thanks for the advice Trent [signature] |
