Selective feeders
#1
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.

Nice report, sounds as though the Bows are starting in on there spawn. With 2 reports of Brilliant color this morning. I would suspect that roe patterns will get those browns to move on it.

I love the Anyriver church. So much freedom. Thanks for the report. I'm very envious. How crowded was the river?

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[Wink]

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.

Unfortunatly I didn't get the time to fish. The water was high and murky.

Thanks for the advice
