Jay: Good idea. I would have to morph into a streamer flinger. I guess I could do that.
Larry J >>> "J Paulson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 4/5/2007 5:39 PM >>> Have you tried working it from above and swinging a wetfly or streamer in front of those trout? I've found that sometimes if you keep it there long enough, they will hit it out of irritation or anger, especially browns. Although, maybe this solution appeals to me cause I'm a west coast steelheader :-) Jay ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael Bliss To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, April 05, 2007 2:50 PM Subject: Re: [VFB] Eddys (or is that eddies?) 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 On 4/5/07, Larry Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: 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
