Fishing Forum

Howdy all, my pops and I are looking to throw the long stick on friday. Any suggestions on where we can safely wade a stream???
Thanks!

Anybody? Come on.... not even a canned "try the lower provo" response?

Middle with Brown San Juan.

Dont take the non-responses to heart I think with the run off still in full effect most are not hitting the rivers as much.

If you do hit the MP be careful its running 1800 to 2000 cfs

from south to north: Fremont, Huntington, Thistle, Diamond Fork, Hobble Creek, and Beaver Creek (Beginning of Mirror Lake HYW out of Kamas) come to mine. Just watch the rain as that'll blow any of them out quickly with the water already a bit higher than normal.

Dad and I figured we would start at huntington and branch from there. Check out diamond fork and maybe hobble. Middle and lower provo get too combat style for my flavor.....
thanks for the response []
I know most everything northish of the valley is still unfishable, I was just hoping someone might pop in with a " drove by x creek and it looked fishable. "
Cheers!

Where'd you go and how'd you do?

Went up fairview canyon....water was a little off color due to the rain that would come and go all day. Ten inch germans were the norm. Not too discerning on what the dry or dropper was! Pmd's coming off and little golden stones dropping eggs throughout the day []

I went up there today and did about the same. Still fun though []

All the others on the list except beaver creek possible are producing bigger fish right now. I hit the stream we bushwhacked last year and it was relatively crowded. Finally found an easily accessible mile of empty water. I got a late start and I am planning a big hike tomorrow in the Uintas so I didn't want too get crazy hiking today. I was skunked for the first half hour and ended up with only about 15 fish after 3 hours. The biggest was a fat 17 inch rainbow that went 2.5 lbs. I haven't kept a trout in a few years but this one ended up dinner and was pretty good. With the increasing pressure and dropping catch rate I think I might be ready to bushwhack into the middle of the canyon next weekend. Nice day to be out fishing anyway.

Went south to the fish Lake area last weekend and fished UM creek. Drove past the Freemont at the Johnson Valley Reservoir outlet and it looked great (never been there before so not sure what 'normal' looks like, but it seemed pretty fishable to me).

UM creek seemed high & was pretty swift but it's small enough to easily fish from shore. Didn't see any fish rising but there were a lot of bugs on the water. Caught a lot of nice cutthroat trout using beadhead hairs ear & prince nymphs, size 16-18. Smallest was 10", biggest was 16" and really colorful.

Drove to 7 mile creek too, saw a couple rise there during a brief rainstorm but that was it for surface activity. It also looked very nice.

There were some big hoppers in the grass so I imagine when the runoff tapers off a bit more (we drove Goosberry Road from Salina over the 10,600 pass--got turned around by a drift across the road, but not a lot of snow left up there) and the water warms up a little I think terrestrials should be a lot of fun.

Nice bow! It's too bad that river's getting so much attention, it doesn't seem to fish well for the second guy going through []. Oh well, not too many people will go mid-canyon I would think (what with the hike and all). I'm hoping to get get out again in the next couple days but will probably stay a little closer to home...
