Yesterday, I went fishing on the middle provo, although, I hate dealing with the crowds. But I don't think I will be back anytime soon. I had spotted a large brown waiting behind a redd for stray eggs in a stream leading into the river. I tied on a peach egg pattern and started carefully casting to this wary brown. I saw another angler approaching me and I kindly asked him to walk around and not disturb the fish. He told me that I don't own the river or the fish and he started casting to it. He wasn't the best caster and he spooked the fish on his second cast. I was extremely frustrated and yelled at him for ruining my opportunity. He told me I wasn't going to catch the fish anyway and should find a new section of the river out of his way. I know the mp is "combat fishing" but I think this is a little much. I'm going to have to find some smaller waters that are lesser known to avoid idiots like this guy.
