Sea trout caught fly fishing in Provo under clear skies

The morning sun glints off the Provo River. Curt stands knee-deep in the clear water. His fly rod arcs gracefully. A brown trout rises to the surface. It takes the fly. The line goes taut. Curt reels skillfully. The fish fights. It leaps and splashes. After a struggle Curt nets a beautiful 19-inch brown. He admires its golden scales. The fish is released. It swims away. Curt smiles. Another cast is made. The peaceful river flows on.
