First try at the MP

I was in SLC this weekend, Emily wanted to go to some bridal show. That was fine with me I wanted to have a shot at the middle Provo in the winter. I knew I would be going, so I gave John Schultz a call and let him know I was coming. In the past John and I had mainly fished stillwater together, but he said he wanted to catch up and needed to get out of the house anyway. I met him at his house, said hello to Susie and talked for a little bit. John also gave me some sweet beads used for spawning trout and a cool williams joseph light lanyard. We then went and fished a section of the middle Provo. It was raining, as it had all weekend. It wasn't to hard, but constant. We fished for probably 3 hours and nothing. I was shocked at how many people were fishing in the rain and cold in the middle of the winter. John says thats how it usually is and can't barely stand it generally its so crowded. We decided to go grab some food, so we stopped in Park City and had some good conversation while eating some pretty good Mexican food. Even though no fish, it was good to catch up with John again. Were waiting for the ice off at Minersville and he is going to head down here.

Winter Cherry

Finally got the skunk off my back. Ty asked me to accompany him to Moab on Sunday to look at a job he was bidding. We took off around 5 and stayed in Green River. We went and looked at the job Monday morning, and then headed back home, but not without stopping for a little fishing. We got of I-15 and headed down 89. We stopped at a spot on the Sevier to fish, but not without asking for permission. We got our permission and started fishing. I started fishing with a streamer, but quickly changed to a nymphing rig. I didn't have any luck fish the deep faster riffles, but as soon as I started fishing the slower water I had some luck. I was using a brown san-juan followed by a bh red zebra midge. I was using a little weight to go along with the tungsten bead head. I started getting fairly consistent hits, but could not land anything. I finally landed a rainbow that was probably 15." It was very lethargic, but still tugged my line. I quickly hooked up another, but couldn't land it. I kept getting hits, but it was very tough hooking up. Ty was having a hard time landing them as well, but was getting consistent hits. It was very exciting to be fishing in short sleeves in January.
