    What else is back there? Do you think I could catch like back there this time of year or should I try somewhere else?

      They diverted Provo river since this video. I think the fishing would be extremely poor now.

      Good luck finding anyone to help you catching fish here bro I’ve given out so many of my spots and anytime I ask for even a general area to fish no one will even give me anything so I’ve given up on giving my spots out

    What time of year is this? I have been thinking about spear fishing this area for a while, but the water is not usually this clear.

    • @Hero_Spearo
      @Hero_Spearo  Год назад

      Spring, when the water is about 45F. They diverted the river and changed some things this year though. I do t think it would be as good anymore.

    Very nice! When I lived in/spearfished Utah I always wanted to try spearing Utah lake right at the mouth of the Provo. Would have to be a rainy day to not piss off the shore fisherman though.

    What kind of pole spear do you use? Would you recommend it to a beginner spearfisher?

    • @Hero_Spearo
      @Hero_Spearo  2 года назад +1

      I primarily use a Gat-ku with a slip tip. They are one of the top of the line spear brands. It’s definitely my favorite with Evolve in close second. Yeah I recommend it but they are pricy ($350-$450). About as much as a good spear gun. If you aren’t looking to invest that much into one I would recommend getting a cheep $50 yellow one off Amazon to start with.

    • @joelnielson

      Agree. I went the cheap yellow spear option and had a blast in Costa Rica. Whatever you do, just start!

      Evil to some hero to others. Either way they were tasty and enjoyed by friends and myself. Yeah I don’t think they are going anywhere either. I’m fact I think most people want them in there. The biggest issue with them being in Utah lake is they will definitely effect the current numbers of the endangered June sucker. Thanks for watching!

      The spot in this video is currently all messed up. The state has diverted the river and other things that have made it hard to spear. I’m hoping it’s fixed by next spring. I haven’t been out much this year but maybe we can make something happen.
