I think that sounds like a great idea. I will contact all of you to see if we can get a day together on the Provo. It will be fun.

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.

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?
