Mid Provo Midge Hatch

We went out Sunday, March 18th to hit Lunker Lane. Historically, Sunday morning clears up a lot of bank space for those who don't go to church. Rico and I were able to hit the spot with only one other on the opposite bank. It was cloudy most of the day, but spotty midge and bwo hatches were coming when the sun broke through. The trout were keyed in on the midges (black, size 20-26). They were looking up, but only at the emergers. I was able to pick up a few on a small midge under the film, and Rico did fairly well drifting a warrior. The highlight of the day, however, was the fisherman on the opposite bank. In the four hours of fishing, we saw him pull out 52, yes, 52 browns ranging in size from 8-16".Feeling both frustration and curiosity, we finally asked what he was whipping. A size 22 brown midge emerger with a white shuck. I then proceeded to go home that night and tie up a dozen or so variations. I have since fished these and had surprising success. No lunkers from The Lane, but still a great day.
