Provo River

[harlin]

I had a hankering to catch some browns, so I went to the lower Provo today. I've tried to fish this river before, but I always got skunked. I wanted to try some swimbaits that I just bought, thinking maybe that would entice the browns. I stopped below the first diversion dam and fished there for a minute. Had a few bites, then hooked up with this brown.



It was nice to finally catch something out of the Provo.

The dam wasn't producing anymore, so I found a run right before the bridge. While retrieving across current, this brown slammed and fought good.



After that, I drove up to Deer Creek for a shot at a Walleye. Bad move on my part! Didn't even get a bite out of Deer Creek. I tried spinners, spoons, swimbaits, and tube jigs, but nothing worked. Shoulda stayed on the Provo.

Ya dc fishing sucks now. It will pick up when the hard deck is set steady..

Yeah, I keep going up to DC to try and hook a rainbow, but it never happens. I didn't get a reading of the water temp, but maybe it's turning over and the bite slowed.
