Provo River Midges

I love to fish the Lower Provo in the early spring. Its this time of year when I see beautiful trout rise to take almost invisible bugs from the surface. What I really love to see are those same beautiful trout rise to take my tiny imitations from the surface then barrel and roll when they feel the prick of their lip, similar to the way this rainbow did.
Kohler had some nice fish take his 6X for a ride.
Adult midges were everywhere, and we even saw a few blue-winged olives, no doubt some of the first of the year.

The dries were fun to fish, but it was the pupa dropper below a cluster pattern that really hammered the fish.
