Location
Lower Provo River
Overview
The Lower Section of the Provo River below Deer Creek Reservoir is currently at 410 CFS. With Deer Creek not frozen over sometimes the river can be a bit off color with the wind blowing the lake over. There has been one of the better BWO hatches in recent memory. Dry fly fishing has been best in the afternoon, but its been nymphing well all day. Streamers have still been doing well regardless of cloud cover.

The Lower Section of the Provo River below Deer Creek Reservoir is currently at 800 CFS. The river is moving quick, be careful wading quicker sections of water. We are not seeing too many fish looking up, nymphing will be your most productive option. Throwing flies into softer, slower water will be your best option.

Overview
The Lower Provo is flowing at about 500 CFS. Plenty of midges moving around with some BWO’s here and there. Access can be difficult with the snow and the high water but fishing has been productive. Same as the middle, but target the slower moving sections of the river. Nymping will be the most productive method.
