As we documented and mentioned before one of our traditions with the Frenzy group is that we Fish on New Year’s Day. We decided to fish the Provo River When we got there it was about 17 degrees, so we layered up and set out to try and catch some fatties. Overall the weather cooperated [...]

OK you Jack knobs here is the deal.  We are meeting up at the mouth of Provo Canyon at 8 AM on New Year’s Day.  The weather report looks good with a nightly low of about 28 and for that day a high of 38.  It says there might be afternoon snow showers but I [...]

For the last few years a few of us in the Fly Fishing Frenzy group have gone fishing on New’s Year Day. Last year was especially fun when Aaron “Chubbs” Peterson and myself went up on the Provo River and trekked through about 3 feet of snow to hit the few spots that looked good. [...]

This past week I found myself reading Dr. Gillespie’s blog about all the fish he has been catching on the provo.  In his post “it’s Mr Brown” he said “It’s funny how a little cold has scared all the fisherwomen away”. Well, let me backup a bit.  This past week has been the craziest and [...]

Right now the Brown trout are spawning on the Provo River.  Last week on Friday afternoon I went up with Dr. Gillispie and fished it for a couple hours as well as this morning for about an hour.  I know I have talked about this before but the biggest thing fisherman need to watch out [...]

The Caddis hatch starting late June and lasting through July/August is one of the best times, in my opinion, to fish the Provo. I love it because everyone will fish all day long and leave right when it gets good which leaves the river wide open. Usually you can get to the river at 8 [...]

Aaron and I went up on the Provo River Thursday May 1st and it was absolutely FREEZING!!! For the first 10 minutes we threw on some nymphs just waiting for the fish to start rising and when they started it was just crazy. There were more fish rising then I have ever seen on the [...]

Tuesday the 29th I dropped Max off at school and decided to go up on the Provo River and fished for a couple of hours. Needless to say but it was awesome. I did take my camera so I could show off the goods.

I hadn’t been fishing for a bit so early in the week last week i decided that would try to hit the Provo River on Thursday or Friday. I ended up on the river Friday late morning. It was windy but very nice, temp was about 65. I couldn’t see any bugs coming off the [...]

Sat. April 5th: So to be able to get in shape for the upcoming Fly Fishing Frenzy. I decided I needed to hit the Provo River for some spring conditioning. The weather was prefect for the famous BWO’s to hatch in big numbers. It was a wet, cloudy overcast day. The bugs didn’t come off [...]

I always try and fish every New Years Day.  This year Aaron and I headed up on the Provo River to try our luck with the trout.  We caught a few, saw some Bald Eagles and got waist deep in snow but it was a great day.
