Click here to receive our report by e-mail. This report is a brief overview of what is happening on our most popular surrounding streams. I try to update it every 2-4 weeks as conditions change and time permits. If you don't see what you are looking for or would like to give us a report, please e-mail us or call toll free 1-877-878-2862. It is a compilation of our experiences on the water, our guides reports, and reports received from customers. We are always happy to update you with current conditions on these and many other Utah waters locally and in surrounding states.

Our winter season is in full swing and the rivers around Park City have been fishing very well. Winter has not produced much snow this year and river axcess is very good, almost all of our favorite spots have been pretty easy to reach, considering it is mid January. Midges have been the most common hatch, and anglers on both the Middle and the Lower Provo have had good luck using Midges both dries and nymphs. The Green has been very good and Midges are also bringing heads to the surface. The next month will produce some of the best dry fly fishing of the year on the Green, it always does (midges at little hole mid day!). Streamer fishing on the Green has been exceptional, large heavy streamers fished on sink tips are the ticket (try the backeddies some with your heavy streamer rig and see what happens!). The most consistent dry fly fishing has been on the Middle Provo and the middle of the day midge hatch has been the reason why, try a silvey's midge size 20. The Lower has been producing some large trout on nymphs both sow's and midges are getting them, try a variety of midge larvae in different colors Cream, red, black, olive, grey, and even green or chartreuse. The Weber is fishing well on streamer's. The rivers have not been too crowded the last week and if you are really lookng for some peace and quiet try a Green River Best of Day trip for 2 anglers for $310. (check the website for details) our last 2 Green River Clients had the whole river to themselves for the whole day you can't get that very often. The local streams have also been pretty quiet especially on the weekdays.

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.
