No problem on the heads up. I'm still trying to figure out mounting arrangements for my toon as well. I couldn't tell from your pics, do you have a motor mount on your toon?
I have fished the Provo from below Deer Creek Dam to Utah Lake. I am just learning how to fish the section closer to Utah Lake. That section is dominated by "warm water" spieces, e.g., walleye, LM Bass, bluegill, some crappie, white bass (during the spawn), catfish as you get closer to the lake, and a boat-load of carp. One of my first goals is to float that section in my pontoon. There is ton of water and structure that is only reachable by pontoon or canoe. The current is slow enough that with a little extra effort, you can move upstream with just your fins, but there is enough current to drift downstream at a perfect speed.
As you move upstream through the city of Provo, light weight tackle can be lots of fun for 10-15 inch browns and stocked rainbows. Once you get into the special regulation section and closer to Deer Creek dam, don't be suprized to hook into 18+ inch browns, rainbows, and an occational cut. The "middle section," between Deer Creek and Jordanelle, is also special regs and full of healthy trout.
For using your floating toy, you have Utah Lake (which Tube Dude could tell you a ton about), Deer Creek (try Poncho, Fishboy2, and a slew of others on the Utah board), and Jordanelle are all within an hours drive of downtown Provo/Orem.
I'll send you a PM with my contact info for when you get down this way, or if you have any other specific questions. I predominately flyfish, so I can be the most help in that area.
