Had a few hours to kill after work last Tuesday, so decided to take advantage since I was already in the area. I haven’t broke out the fly rod in awhile, so decided to give it a whirl. Fished a couple hours right below Rockport and got a big, fat goose egg. No hits, no bumps, no takes…nothing. Decided to move down a bit and fished a stretch between RP and Echo. Same results. A couple hours later and after fishing several nice looking holes, not much to show for it. I did have one potential fish on, but it came off quick. There was a caddis looking hatch toward evening, but no fish rising. I mainly fished a tandem Provo bounce rig. Prince nymph, sow bugs, hares ear, WD 40s…they didn’t want any of it. It was a beautiful afternoon/evening though and had a good time on the water.
Good thing we’re headed to the Greys in a week. I know how to catch fish on that river!
