Warm Water Fishing

[flygoddess]

I have been fishing about every day minus therapy days. Trying to makeup for the month I missed[laugh]
Jordan river is right there and it is always interesting.



But last night was very interesting. I have been seeing a couple Turtles since Christmas. They pop their head up for a few minutes then gone. I was fishing a Gartside Gurgler in white with a Rainy's Popcorn ball dropper about 20" down. I also use a small clear Thingamabobber.
I had cast and something was tapping my fly as the indy was bopping a bit. All of a sudden the turtle comes up about 2 feet away from my indy. I let it sit, turtle went down. He then came up about a foot away from my indy. Again I let it sit, he dove again, and the indy went under and took off.
I pulled and honestly thought I was bringing in a branch, but nope...Mr. Turtle took the popcorn ball. Sorry on the blurry picture, but he wanted back in the water. I got the hook out and camera photo him. He was 10" wide!

He is back swimming around
This morning I found out what was tapping my flies

I am so hooked.

Well you can mark turtle off your fly bucket list. Now u need to catch a duck ha ha! I hooked one last year on the low Provo but I just cut the leader.

I have caught Mud Larks, but it wasn't in the mouth so it doesn't count...LOL Even the Crayfish took the fly in the mouth.
