This is why I fish throughout the winter

Apr 14th

I went up on the Provo River on Friday to hit the Blue Wing Olive hatch and almost turned around to come home.

As I headed past Vivian Park I started to see cars in almost every turn out spot. Usually when I am heading up to the river for just a couple hours I like to hit spots closer to the mouth of the canyon to optimize my fishing time but like I mentioned when I saw so many cars where I usually park to fish I kept going up hoping to find somewhere that I could pull over. I knew it would be busy even for a Friday afternoon but I was wishing to see a spot with only a few cars but every spot had at least 8 or more. As I made my way to the campground area I decided that I would just head home and not try and fight the crowds. When I reapproached Vivian Park as I was headed back down the canyon I thought I might as well wet a line since I was already there and that my best chance would be just above the bridge at Vivian. To my surprise when I got in the river there was no one with in a hundred yards of me and the fish were boiling. Needless to say it was an awesome day.
