Went to the Middle Provo the water is still high but the fishing was still good. Caught everything sub-surface with brown and red san jaun worms.
After fishing the san jaun on the way back to the truck I fishing the same spots with a streamer, dark green with some red flash, and hooked into some nice browns.

Fished the first caddis hatch of the year. It was really nice to be hunting for raising fish in a small local stream. Small streams are fun because you only get one or two casts to the raising fish so it forces you to be really accurate. Also, the way trout hit a caddis is awesome. Caught a bunch of fish all on size 14 olive bodied elk hair caddis.
May 8th - 9th
The Middle Provo again. The water is still high and the fishing is a bit tough. Again the red and brown san juan were working. But this time of year is when the green drakes and stone fly nymphs start moving around. So, flash back pheasant tails, golden stone flies, and the twenty incher nymphs were working too.

Jones Hole Creek. This place is awesome, clear as gin and some good sized rainbows.
Caught all but one of my fish on the surface using big cicadas, ants or fat alberts. Caught one fish on the trailing fly which was flash back bars emerger. This palce was crazy with bugs crane flies, may flies, golden stone flies and cicadas were all flying around. This made the fishing really fun because you could try a wide varity of flies.
