Hi Panda,
All good advice here. Two quick things:
(1) A lot of us -- if I may speak collectively -- post our good days more than our bad days. I've had days of 100+ fish at Strawberry in the last year, and also days on which I caught nothing. More of the latter, to be honest. There is no substitute for a little good luck, and getting on the water at the right time. Point is, the reporting is always a selection of the total fishing days, and usually the selection is not representative. That's for the good, since otherwise reports would be boring. But I find it helpful to keep in mind.
(2) I'd consider taking your kids white bass fishing -- especially right now! (Although maybe not right, right now, becuase water flows at the lower provo were way up yesterday and so fishing was poor.) But now is the best time for catching a lot of fish really easily. I try to take kids to fish the spawning white bass if they don't already love fishing.
