Hey everyone this is not my report (like I'd get a free minute off from work or school to go fishing) but it's my dad's.
He went to the Provo River yesterday afternoon after work. He hit the Bridal Veil falls area and he said the blue-winged olives were flying around EVERYWHERE!!! He tried using a dry fly bluewinged olives, but he said apparently he didn't have a small enough size. He had 1 or two strikes on them but no good hits. So he added a pheasant tail dropper to his dry and BAM immediately started getting hits on the dropper. He landed 5 nice browns, between 12 and 18 inches, and lost quite a few others that he said he should have had.
Anyway, it was enough to make me quite jealous. Looks like the warm weather these afternoons is causing large blue winged olive hatches.
