Hey, what about me? The first of June is my first day of summer
vacation. Sounds like a good way to start. Maybe we ought to try
and get all of local VFB'ers together for a Provo river trip. There
are plenty of fish in that river (even if they are hard to catch).
Joyce may know it better than any of us.

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.

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.

One area of a stream that has always caused me funk are eddys. 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?
