This feels like the first fishing report of spring. Our tailwaters have fished exceptionally well this last week. The Lower Provo is a great choice,and this last week has produced consistent dry fly activity as the midges continue and now some Bwo's are also hatching. Nymphing is still productive and may be a better choice early, but afternoon's are dry fly time, and lots of heads are up in most slower areas with some depth. The earlier part of the week had very little fishing pressure, but the later half the Lower was pretty busy, the word must be out. I had the chace to fish the Green this past week and fishing was very good. Am Streamers (all day if you like) and pm dry and dropper or dry were the ticket. Lots of heads up and some Bwo's are hatching. This winter has been very quiet on the Green and the fish are very cooperative. Less winter fishing pressure will produce even better spring fishing for those willing to make the journey. The fish on Wednesday were healthy and bright, it would appear that the fish have wintered well and we should see this through this next season. The Weber has been a good choice lately and some very large browns have been caught (sowbug!).The last few days the Weber has also been pretty busy. The Middle Provo has taken the brunt of the winter fishing pressure and it shows, odd times and long walks to less fished water has worked for some, many anglers are saying the fish are super picky and fishing pressure is why, try early am or the south river road access with the long walk downstream. With the weather forecast for Monday thru Friday next fishing should be awesome we have our new flies out come on down and see them. Good luck this next couple of weeks and be prepared for those Bwo's some of the best fishing of the entire year is going to occur in the next couple of weeks.

Other Comments: New Zealand mud snails have been confirmed in this section of the Green. This exotic species competes for the same food as insects which then displaces the insects that trout feed on. In order to prevent spreading these invaders to other waters, wash all equipment with bleach and allow it to completely dry (drying and freezing seem to kill them) before entering other waters.
