I fished the Provo a lot before that happened. The Provo was the only river I knew and fished because that is where I learned how to fly fish. I had never fished another river before. I like the Provo a lot. And I would have no problem fishing it again.
After that experience it got me curious about and looking into other waters and what was available closer to where I live (Davis County)....and there are a lot of other waters around to fish! Once I took the time to find the Weber, Ogden, Logan, etc. rivers I didn't have a reason to go to the Provo. It didn't offer me anything more that I couldn't get somewhere else. I pretty much only have weekends to fish so I figured I would stay closer to home so I could fish longer, catch bigger fish, catch more fish, and find a lot less people.
One bad experience didn't turn me away from the Provo....just got me looking for other opportunities and it really opened my eyes to everything else available. Really, it made me a better fisherman.....it helped me to expand my learning and experience a lot more.
