And who said throwing rocks scared the fish away????lol
Well I have a bitter sweet report. My first time on the weber "alone" this year. It was a beut of a day so I decided to he the river. I arrived at about 1 pm and low and behold I forgot it was Saturday!! dang!!! there were already two cars at "my favorite stretch" at least I didnt go to the Provo. I am sure it was worse. Anyway I decided to go and catch all the fish that they missed. I am not having good luck for a while now and I finally catch up to half of the group that was fishing ahead of me. So I slowly and patiently fished my way up to them. While I am fishing I notice a little boy with his mom(dad was farther up stream fishing) the boy was throwing rocks in my HONEY hole that I was workin my way up to. DANG!!! what do you do? So I just ignored him hoping that his mom would tell him to stop. So they finally went back to their cars or whatever and I moved in. To go back a little while the boy was throwing rocks I was getting fish left and right. For some reason every fish that I hooked into got off right at the bank it was frustrating. I had about 4 pop offs in about 20 min. One was a fatty bow or cutthroat and one was a nicer brown they fought good and then quick release.bye bye. So back to the honey hole I swear it was the first cast in to the recently rock littered hole and whammo I knew he was big. It turned out to be a nice thick hook jaw brown Id say 23 '' and about 4 lbs. Now forthe bitter part. I had stepped on my reel a couple days prior and wasnt sure or couldnt find any thing wrong with it but I found out when I went to regather all my line and the reel broke into two. Bummer I DIDNT HAVE MY BACKUP so I threw a couple of spinners and had to go home. It was my first fly reel I had ever bought. So it was old and needed to be replaced anyways.
I was using a grey scud and an old parachute BWO that I butchered up to match a little green larva. I caught him on the green bug
Of coarse I had to get a pic but i had to hurry and get the fish back so I diddnt get the best shot. I dont think it shows off how fat he was and how nice and big his fins were oh well.
last pic is a little brown I caught the other day. same spot.
