Agreed. That is exactly why I left and went somewhere else. It would have done me no good to confront the other people or tell them i was there first. I was a bit irritated, but could hardly expect anything else on a beautiful Saturday afternoon.
On a different note, I think that sometimes these fish die-offs are a good thing: not only are fish populations held in check, but it allows remaining fish the chance at faster growth. Even if some large fish die during winter months in Marysvale Canyon because of low flows, these fish are quickly replaced by other fish. The Middle Provo River is the perfect example of what I am talking about...since minimum flows were acquired below Jordanelle, the brown trout population has increased dramatically and the fish sizes have decreased. Low flows on this section of river kept the brown trout population in check and allowed for better growth in fish. It is
to see nice trout dead, but the absence in so many rough fish can only help trout grow quicker and eliminate unhealthy competition.
