Fly fishing for sea trout in Provo UT under clear skies

The sun rises over the Provo River. A gentle breeze rustles through the trees. The water flows clear and cool. An angler stands knee-deep in the river. His fly rod arcs gracefully. The line unfurls across the water. A brown trout rises to the surface. It takes the fly with a splash. The angler sets the hook. The fish darts downstream. The reel sings as line peels out. The trout leaps from the water. Sunlight glints off its scales. The battle continues for several minutes. Finally the fish tires. The angler gently nets his prize. A beautiful Salmo Trutta. He admires it briefly before release. The trout swims away. Another perfect moment on the Provo River.
