FIRST TASTE OF THE PROVO

SO THIS WEEKEND WE MADE AN EARLY MORNING TRIP TO THE LOWER PROVO. NOW THE GUYS I WENT WITH HAVE YEARS OF KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICE. FOR ME THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME OUT. IT WAS LOOKING TO BE A GOOD CALM DAY. NOW MIND YOU THE WIND WAS BLOWING A BIT AND FOR THE FIRST TIME THROWING FLIES THIS PROVED TO BE A GRAND LEARNING EXPERIENCE. WE GOT INTO A GOOD HOLE AND STARTED IN. WITHIN THREE CASTS KAYSON WAS TIGHT. A 10 INCH BROWN. THEN CRAIG LANDED A BROWN. ALL THE WHILE I WAS DOING MY BEST TO GET MY CAST SMOOTH AND MY SHOTS IN THE DRIFT. FOR MY FIRST TIME I DON'T THINK I DID TO BAD. ALL THE YEARS OF BASS FISHING HAS ME IN THE HABIT OF SETTING THE HOOK HARD AND TO THE SIDE. AND THE FOUR FISH I DID HOOK UP QUICKLY SPIT THE FLY. BY THE END OF THE DAY IT WAS SNOWING RATHER HARD AND THINGS WERE STARTING TO FREEZE UP. SO WE STARTED PACKING UP AND HEADED FOR HOME. THE FINAL NUMBERS:
- KAYSON HAD FIVE BROWNS AND A WHITE FISH
-CRAIG HAD TWO BROWNS
-I GOT GOOD PRACTICE AND AN ITCH TO GO AGAIN.

NOW DOWN WITH THE FLY

After fishing for 22 years i felt i was bored and ready to move on. I took a closer look at the art of fly fishing and now im afraid im hooked at the lip.
