DR,
First Id have to agree with you on being there.. Id say it was insane to be around that many anglers at one time.. but.
did you notice in the center of the picture .. the angler in the mustard shirt.. looks like they have fish on the hook.. and Id say from the bend in the rod and general position of the angler it looks to me like he is using a fly rod.. but that is just my observation...

Add a bunch of float tubers and an occassional pontoon boat and you have a sunny Saturday on the lower Provo. Well, maybe not as many people that close together, but the rest is the truth.
And I agree Macfly.....Definitly a fly rod[cool]

That is insane. I do doesn't look like a flyrod though. I would almost bet that it is a Salmon Mooching rod. Even a 3lb fish can put a serious bend on one.
I am also surprised to see that they are using a Van Staal reel. Those guys must be serious about winning a silly chair to be buying 600 to 700 dollar reels for a trout contest.[shocked]

Even Cabelas has a good deal on the Van Staal reels. The smallest is $619 and the best one on their list is only $742. Mooching rods are usually in the low $300s. So that only makes it a $1000 set up for a silly chair.
Don't worry, I can get skunked on my best stuff and my cheap stuff too.[crazy]
Now if the rest of the "Die in the Wool" lint chuckers knew that some of spinning reel dudes can buy expensive stuff too, the might want to convert to that end of it too.
You can still fling out a bubble/fly set up so that you can keep your purity.[cool]

I hear you bro. I've done plenty of night fishing just to beat the crowds. It seems so much more relaxing when it is just you, the stars and the fish.[cool]
