I was born in that area, but we moved to Texas before the trout thing got ahold of me, which explains my bass fixation.
I started fly fishing some years after we moved to Colorado. A lot of the fishing in Colorado is tailwaters, and my fly fishing evolved to fit into that box, high stick nymphing etc. I always wanted to fish the Provo for that reason, a tailwater with high biomass in the area where I was born sounds like a good time to me.
I also spent a good portion of my formative years on a skateboard, beginning about ‘88 or so, prior to double kick decks, when “street” skating meant power slides and wallrides. This was right around the time Natas and Gonz took over the world, and before Rodney Mullen destroyed everything that came before and sent everyone on a completely new trajectory.
This post really gives me the feels.
Cheers man.
