This was Mary's first time on a river and with a fly rod. We only took one rod to keep it simple. So we both took turns while I tried to teach her the ropes. We found a spot where the Brown's were rising for bugs on the surface. I found the right fly in my box, only had 2 of them. We had a lot of strikes. I am quite rusty on setting the hook, so I missed quite a few, but managed to bring in one 8" Brown. Mary got a bigger one, about 12" that fought real well, and managed to get of the hook just as she got it to the shore.
The weather was gorgeous. The views were great. The fishing was good, even if we didn't catch much. Mary did great! I think I fished the Provo 4-5 times before I caught a fish.
Here are some pics.
