Fresh Water Utah Fly Fishing: Off The Plane And Into Fish

After my laptop battery dies, I have no choice but to listen to the guy next to me try to sell me some Amway type vitamins or something like that. Finally, the plane touches down in Salt Lake City. Jason, Chris and I are in the water in about an hour. The lower Provo river has nice mountains surrounding it and the river is loaded with trout. Jason gives me a little Western Nymphing drill and puts me in a spot that he knows is holding fish. The cold water is running through me and it takes all my traveling anxieties downstream. I am fishing a steelhead rig. 10 ft leader - 5x - tag for 3 BB weights - 18 inces of 6x to a size #18 Sow Bug - tied off to that = another Sow Bug. I cast way upstream. My indicator stops dead in its track. "There's a fish" (see video - that is exactly what I say). It was so cool to have Chris with us filming. We are out here partly on business and Chris will be a new Simple Solutions technician in the Utah area. Anyway, I fought the fish, the sun began to settle behind the mountains, Chris shot video from the other bank, Jason was fishing downstream and life was good. I landed my first Rainbow of the trip and it was a nice one. As the evening progressed, we got several more fish to take small nymph patterns. I caught a

Cut Throat on a big leach pattern. Then fish started to feed on top or just below the surface. I threw out my standard wet fly rig. No weight, prince up top and wet fly below. Swung it down stream. Wham! A big fish hit the wet fly on the swing and snapped me off immediately. What a first day. Today we have business meeting in Salt Lake City all day and tomorrow we are heading up to the legendary Grey Reef in Wyoming. 6 hours from Salt Lake City but worth the drive. 4000 Trout per mile. Remote areas and Big fish. I am sure we will have some great digital content from the journey. Check back after the weekend for the Grey Reef - Miracle Mile Fish Tale and Video.
