Night Moves on The Mid

After a 10-year + hiatus, I hooked up with an old fishing friend, Mr. Nate Woodward, for a trip to the Middle Provo River recently. We go way back to high school days fishing together and we haven't skipped a beat since. After several pan fries of late, I have been wanting to hook into something a bit more sizey after hours. Nate filled that role nicely, catching a nice 17" brownie just before total darkness. This was not yet the big time lunker fish I had been looking to land this summer, but it certainly opened my eyes to the fact that the predatory fish indeed come out at night. It is a totally different ball game because as a fisherman, your senses adjust at night fall: what's lost to the sense of sight must be compensated for with a heightened sense of feel. You have a chance to immerse yourself in the darkness, rather than fear the darkness. Night time is the right time for a chance at catching something big time. Therefore, I look forward to more adventures such as this one in the near future.
