Been fishing the Provo River Hooker a ton lately so I wanted to share some of my pics.  A couple months ago Collin Carlson sent me sample of his fly and I just started to fish it.  This fly with a couple other flies is becoming my favorite to fish.  The way it acts in [...]

A few weeks ago we had our annual Frenzy trip up to Idaho and Montana where we landed some awesome fish.  We fished mostly streamers hunting for big aggressive trout.  When I got home I was convinced that the Brown trout up north are more aggressive.  A couple days after being home I was having withdrawals from [...]

Ogden River and Weber River – The Ogden River is still fishing pretty hot but the water is very low. Most productive patterns are egg and very small midges. The Ogden browns love the black zebra midge so have a handful with you just in case you get caught up in the pesky over hanging [...]

So, I have heard from a number of different sources that the fish are getting active and aggressive.  Here is a quick river report on some of the rivers. Weber and Ogden Rivers: The Ogden River is running at good levels and is somewhat clear. You can’t go wrong with 18-20 black zebra midges. Your usual suspects [...]

I don’t give many reports but I went out fishing on the Lower Provo River and wanted to vent some frustration and give a report on the water level and fishing.  The water level is a bit above what the mid summer flows are usually.  The Clarity right now is good as long as you stay [...]
