Things can get crazy on the Middle Provo. I have learned to try and be patience with people and just expect some rudeness.
Just yesterday I had just walked a long way in to a favorite hole and as I was walking up to it out in the field above and across the river there were two guys walking down (I thought all river access had to be at an access point). The stopped and watched me start fishing the hole and then continued to the bank right across from me and started fishing. There were no other anglers for several yards below or above be but they obvious wanted to fish that hole. The even sunk a sick pack of beer to cool in the water and to signal that they weren't going anywhere. They were fishing an easy roll cast form me across the river. I fished for a bit to see if they would move but I just wished them a nice day enjoy your beer and headed somewhere else.
I have meet a lot more courteous and good people fishing the Provo but it's the jerks that stand out more.
