Larry, The idea is for us to find a solution not give up. That big fat brown that sits there needs to be caught. I need to take you out. The Provo can be kind in some spots. See you hopefully the first of June.

Mike: I know the spot. I call it "the rock". I have fished it several times. A lot of fishermen try to fish it from the road side. I always crossed downstream and fished from below the rock. I can catch fish downstream, but not directly below the rock. Too much turbulence in the current to get any type of natural presentation. It's a killer, and one more reason why I don't care too much for the Provo.

Now I have caught fish in them so they get some time - usually too much- from me given their production. My problem is exemplified best by a large boulder just upstream from the entrance of the South Fork on the Provo River. Here the water eddys but it has not just the normal eddy running in a counterclockwise direction but there are subcurrents that are inside of the major one. This makes making almost any kind of presentation a major problem. I have seen very large trout moving in the currents but rarely get a second look from them. I do occasionaly hook a 8"-12" fish there but nothing of any size. I have tried "high sticking" but two problems occur. It is difficult to maintain a natural drift as I watch the bubbles moving there and you have to get so close that the big guys of the river head off. Given this problem how would you solve it? Mike
