BWO’s and Midges
about 2 days ago - No comments
Last Saturday I was feeling good enough so I gathered up the troops and headed up to the lower Provo River. I had heard from The “Dr” that there had been some amazing hatches during the week and it would most likely be the same on Saturday. I tied up some BWO’s and [...]

Last week I went fishing with the person that first got me into fly fishing.
While I was on a family vacation in Yellowstone my Uncle Daren took me to the upper Firehole River, gave me a caddis fly, told me where to cast and said cast in that hole there are tons of brook trout. [...]
New Years Day on the Provo
about 2 months ago - 5 comments
We had our annual New Year’s Day fishing outing to the Provo River. It was a perfect day with almost no clouds and temps around 39 degrees. In years past we have hit the lower Provo but this year we decided to go to the Middle. We got to the river at about 9ish and [...]
One Hour on the Provo River

I hadn’t been up on the Provo River for while and a few days ago in the afternoon I ended up talking to the “Dr” and we both wanted to go fish but we only had an hour or so. An hour is plenty of time, right?
I took some video of our very short outing. [...]

First fish on a fly
about 5 months ago - No comments
Last week I took a friend fly fishing for the first time. I love taking someone out to river and putting them on fish. Of course, there is a selfish reason of why I like to take people and that is it gives me a great excuse to be standing in water some where but [...]

Chubbs, we should go this Sat or maybe Fri after 10am. Last time I was there on my b-day 2 1/2 weeks ago, I landed an ok 6 pounder that took me into my backing cause I was using 6x and didn’t want to lose it. Let me know. Also during the week, if you are able to get away for a couple hours we should hit the Provo. It is fishing great and its not an all day thing. I have hit it for the past two nights and i’m home by 6pm (3:30-5:30pm) Dr.G out

Check out the 5th and 6th pics and the narly mice hanging form those mid-night Green River trout. That is one of my favorite ways to fish the Green-full moon, stripping mouse patterns in the riffles…Then Bam! a big trout nails it…This ins’t a little fishes game only the big fish can play… Also notice on pic six…I’m sporting the Frenzy 07 t-shirt…Its one of my two lucky fishing shirts. If anyone wants to do a little f’ing anyday from 2pm-dark:30, let me know…I am free almost everyday and need and excuse to tell my wifey…Dr G. Out

Yeah, I’ll be in New York Nov 29th- Dec 4th and Snowboarding the 5th and 6th. But besides then I am pretty much free. Traditionally the lake freezes around the first of Dec so unless you want to hit the ice we better plan something around thankgiving weekend. What night or nights can you hit the Provo?

Well done Dr. G! Why are you holding back though? I’ve seen your picture collage before and I know you have like 20 more pictures of 7+ lb. pigs! Thanks for being modest and not rubbing it in too much. You know what they say, “It’s one thing to lust after a man’s wife, but it’s an entirely different thing to lust after a man’s moster fish collage,” or something like that. I was going to hit the provo tomorrow with big hoss, but my Grandma has picked up a very untimely illness and needs to move in with my Mom. I have to help her move from Logan. If only she could have waited one more day!!! Fish on f’ers!
