Planning on hitting Deer Creek at first light. I think I'll put in at the park where the island is (Rainbow Bay I think?).
Just wondering if anyone else on BFT is going to be up there. I drive a red toyota pickup, and will be fishing out of a red inflatable canoe. Plan on taking both my fly and spinning rods.
Might just have to hit up the Provo on the way home...
I always wonder how many BFT guys are around when I'm fishing, so stop me if you see me...
Anyone else hitting Deer Creek tomorrow?

I was their Last Sat and the catching was fast early, about 11: AM it shut down for me. Caught fish on flies, super duper, rapala, dodger with some kind of bug on it, flasher and a worm. Nothing was working after 11 though. WISH YOU LUCK

I can't venture too far in my canoe, but where were you fishing last weekend? How far from shore, and how deep were you presenting?
I plan on hitting it up at first light. I will likely start out tossing and trolling rapalas till I find where the fish are, and then I hope to bust out the fly rod when I find where they're holding.
I don't have a fish finder or anything, so I'll be fishing the old-skool way. I like the challenge, especially in my primitive canoe. [cool]
Mike, I also sent you a PM

I launched at the Island Ramp and caught several fish within sight of the ramp ---500-600 yards or so. Didn't graph many fish at any depth so I concluded they were on the surface or at least very shallow and moving out from the path of the boat. Caught most fish shallow on everything we tried until about 11:
We trolled north down the West side towards the river and up into the river mouth later in the day but the bite had already shut down.
Anywhere around the Island will be great but hit it early.

Canadian, I hope to be out there around 9-930. I have to drop my daughter off at a school activity at 8:30 (in Orem) then it's up to the lake (unless something gets in the way). I'll be in a blue Fish Cat 4 (BFT sticker on back of seat), wearing a black cowboy hat. I plan to be north of the island. I have a finder on my tube. I'll only be there a couple hours; the whole afternoon is honey-do's.
