I'll be on the Middle Provo all day tomorrow and I am
looking forward to observing a hatch or two--hopefully I'll get some excellent
footage and some decent specimens to share on the blog. As I'll be MIA in the next few weeks, if you fish the Lower, Middle, or Upper Provo, a brief fishing report for the blog would be greatly appreciated! Feel free to email them, along with a short description of yourself to info@provoriverflyguy.com.
With the string of 100 degree plus days that we have
experienced this week, I am looking forward to wet-wading and donning a pair of
my river sneakers--that is if my wife hasn't thrown them all away. I tried to
explain to my wife that my shoe collection features a fragile fraternity, where
the condition of the shoe determines its practical hierarchy and certain pairs
must be recognized as keystone species. For example, if one pair of shoes were
to go missing, such as my back-up river shoes that are held together with two
year old duct tape, my lawn shoes would be catapulted into an endangered
species standing, as I would be forced to use these shoes if anything were to
happen to my primary river shoes, or if I were to take a friend or family
member fishing--as they would obviously need a pair of seasoned river shoes. It
is not easy to preserve my shoe collection from being tossed aside, but I
believe that I have made a strong case, and
my annual conservatory efforts will preserve the delicate order for years to
come. If you sympathize with my struggles, I wear a size 10.5 and I'll be happy
to take a pair or two of river worthy shoes off your hands--feel free to email
me.
I am heading to Washington next week and I'm particularly
looking forward to fishing the Muddy and Upper Lewis Rivers, Merril Lake, and
the Swift Reservoir, which were all instrumental in my early angling development
and are the backdrop to some of my favorite childhood memories. I'll have some
great photos from Washington and if I'm lucky, the Deschutes River, for the
blog when I get back.

ReplyDeleteHope you land some outstanding trout species, in the coming weeks. As for the shoes I have been there, it seems I collect more than I ever wear--all for outdoors. thank for sharing and good luck next week in Washington
Well...any friend of Bill's is a friend of mine! Yes...the Provo. Planning a trip up myself...when it cools off in the early evening! Wow. Can't wait to head to Yellowstone and lower temps! I am not a shoe collector...just fly rods for me. : ) That's not a good thing...
