Every year outdoor enthusiasts flock to the Provo River to enjoy the fruits of Mother Nature for months on end. The Brighton Anglers are no exception. With this being said, Brighton Anglers teamed up with Fish For Garbage three years ago to create an event that gives back to the river we love and use so much.
We want to send out a huge thanks to everyone who got involved in our Fish For Garbage Provo River Clean Up. It was a great success. We couldn't have done it with out you... A lot of trash was taken away from the river. We filled two dumpsters and a trailer full of garbage. Amongst all the flip flops, cans and plastic bottles we found some interesting junk as well, a sunken canoe, torn raft, blown out tires, money safe, mattress and inner tubes. Thanks again for taking time out of your busy week and giving up a Saturday to help clean up after other people. We had a great time and hope you did as well. Next years clean up will be held on Earth Day May 22. Mark your calendars. :) A big shout out to our partners.

We have been hitting up the Provo River a bit lately. Its been cold but fish are staying active. We've found success in the morning on little brown and green streamers. Then as the day goes on we move to fishing the top water with little black midges and bwo flies. The Blue Wing hatch isn't here quiet yet but any day now. I would suggest running a peasant tail nymph as a point fly under your dry and you may increase your numbers. Have fun and take the time to look around you might see some wild life.
Nicole has some skills! She picked up this little brown on the Lower Provo River with a Caddis in early March. I think it was her second cast. Didn't take much time for her to get her cast back.
A few of the Brighton Anglers had a marathon day of fishing. It started off hitting up Jordanelle Reservoir at 7am then after lunch we headed to the Provo River to catch up with Mouse and Isla. The fishing was good at both spots. What we found to work best at Jordanelle was a ginger wooly bugger with an intermediate sink line. The flow on the river has gone up a bit. We couldn't get anything on top but Mouse and Jared hooked in to some fish with bead headed prince nymphs. The day ended heading back at Jordanelle to fish during the sunset. Overall a really fun day!
