Streamers on the LP

[tfopro]

Any pointers for streamer patterns, sizes, and strategy on the Lower Provo?

[TS30]

Black and purple in size 8 and 10 have usually been my favorite colors/sizes on the LP. Brown and olive have produced at times as well. All I do is cast to the opposite bank and strip as it drifts. When it gets below you, continue to strip it in to you. Many hits happen that way. I have also seen many fish taken on the dead drift of a bugger, but I have never had success personally that way.

Sculpin patterns in olive and brown in a size 6 have always produced for me. I would say its just like any time you throw streamers. Color, size and presentation are more important than what the pattern really is.

How's married life treating you, SOAP?

Well, I fish a lot more now, which was unforeseen and still may change.
Life is good.

How are the Uintas treating you?
I'm headed to the Boulders next weekend, and I can't frakkin' wait.
Float tubin for monster brookies, should be awesome.

I fished them today after the bust at strawberry and got 4 on the streamer. Cast across, strip, strip, swing. Take a step down. Had a wet fly off the back of the streamer and picked up some nice fish on it. Cort

my last streamer-caught fish on the LP was Thursday, late evening, on the dangle while wading to get a closer look at the fish that was slashing the surface of the water chasing my buddy's mouse...

What I have found so far is the more fish I actually catch, the less I know about strategy.

Can fish sense anxious anticipation through our line to the fly? Because they rarely seem to bite when they are supposed to, as in when I am using the ideal fly, displaying flawless technique and casting with lethal accuracy. As soon as I let my guard down or botch a cast or quit paying attention, more often then not, the pull comes. And while I pretend it was all by design, and hold up the fish for all the world to see, I know deep down that mother nature has once again debunked the importance of "my strategy".

[Sladewagon]

Yes Tyson, that's why my strategy is to not have one! And it works, um, all the time!
