I was fly fishing on the Provo River, at the Provo River Access, when a bunch of Pale Morning Dun emergers started appearing on the surface of the water. That caused a bunch of previously hidden trout to come to the surface and start sipping feverishly. It was one of those adrenaline inducing moments for a dry fly angler when you can see trout making little disturbances on the surface of the water. I caught three trout in about ten minutes, then they stopped.
I hooked this beautiful brown trout and managed to bring it in, but quickly discovered the juggling act of solo fishing photography. Without a net, trying to hold a decent sized slippery fish with one hand while operating an iPhone with the other is nearly impossible. The trout slipped from my grip back into the shallow water, giving me just enough time to capture this shot before bringing it back in to remove the hook then send it back home.
