I decided to go to Strawberry today and either find some soft water at the ladders or offer a couple bucks to use someone's auger (no ice gear). I got up pretty early and was almost at Daniels Summit before first light.
The summit was really stormy though and I knew it wouldn't be long until some serious snow started falling. There was already a layer of snow covering the road and I didn't want to get stuck on the Strawberry side...No really.
So I turned around and thought about Deer Creek, but ultimately didn't want to be an "auger bum", so I ended up at the fisherman's access upstream from Charleston Bridge on the Middle Provo.
I was hungry for fish, so I threw on a night crawler and got a limit of rainbows after wading around for awhile.
I was really surprised that I didn't see any browns in that stretch. The bows are usually the rare species in the river. They're getting ready to spawn though. The two smaller ones I got today were really milty.
It was a good day, but it was over too fast.
Happy Fishing, Humans.
