Lower Provo this Saturday (Winter fishing tips anyone?)

[cericr]

Hey all. I have had a fly rod and equipment for a few years now but never had the time ( school ) to really get serious about it. I bought some waters this summer and have started getting out in the rivers and streams.

I have really only used Dries to this point but I know that dries or only a fraction of the diet of the fish. I want to be able to consistently catch fish all year long.

I am especially excited for this winter now that I have most of the gear to be somewhat serious about it.

I plan to hit the lower provo these next two weekends or so. Do you have any tips on flies I should stock up on? Techniques I should key in on?

I have read on other threads that the Browns are getting more aggressive ( because of the Spawn??. So I would think this would be a good time for Streamers. What patterns should i key in on?

I went Last weekend and some luck with an Elk Hair Caddis. Caught 4 fish in about 1.5 hours. I would have caught more but my reaction time was a little slow seeing it has been a while since I have been on the river with the fly.

Any advice or tips would be well appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I hit the weber for an hour today and got a nice brown on a sculpzilla streamer in olive. It should similllar conditions on the provo and streamers should work well along with egg patterns.

Spawn should be in full effect, eggs in orange and yellow with a scud or sow bug dropper.

If your planning on throwing nymphs... Right now is the time for eggs! Browns are spawning and they are hungry. Just like remo said if your doing the lower the sow bug and egg combo will be your best bet. If your doing the middle throw rainbow warriors, crystal killers, pheasant tails and now through November the blue wings will be going heavy. If you ever need a fishing partner I try to get out a couple o times a week... I'd be happy to show to good waters!

Im pretty sure the Random Fly Pattern with yellow or orange egg would be the best to use like always in Fall ha ha ha. [laugh]

I was over there yesterday and fished for 2 hours without any fish and the spawn hasn't started yet it has been too warm. But the rainbows will bite I caught one the other day.
