Middle Provo River Fishing Report 07/29/2023

Location

Middle Provo River

Overview

The flows on the Middle Provo River have finally come down to a normal flow of 300 CFS. Water temps are good and the river is much more navigable. Hatches have stayed relatively the same with Caddis and PMD’s hatching throughout the day. There is a lull in hatches from around 3:00 to roughly 5:00 during the warmest part of the day. We are seeing the end of the Green Drake hatch, but you may still find some fish here and there throughout the day willing to eat one.

The flows on the Middle Provo have been bumped back up 20 about 720 CFS. We have mostly been seeing Caddis and PMD’s on any given day. There are a few Yellow Sallies around throughout the day. Green Drakes have been spotted on the lower parts of the river, and we expect to see them moving upstream soon. Nymphing has still been the most productive option.

Middle Provo River

Overview

We are starting to see flows come down on the Middle Provo, with the dam release this morning being at 623 CFS. There is still a large amount of water moving through the river, but it is getting better day by day. There are some Caddis and PMD’s on the surface, but there isn’t a specific hatch yet, bugs are sporadic. That being said, nymphing has been productive throughout all times of the day. Water temps are still very cold, as soon as those come up, we should start seeing more consistent hatches.

Middle Provo River Fishing Report 06/19/2023

Location

Middle Provo River

Overview

The Middle Provo is moving at flowing just under 1800 cfs. from the Dam. While the water is high and moving quick the fishing is still good. Targeting slower moving parts of the river has been very productive. The fish or gorging on nymphs mostly worms and sow bugs. The most difficult task has been finding the good water, when you get a good spot (slower moving water with some depth) the fish are stacked there and catching them has been pretty easy (we are getting away with using 4X tippett). The afternoon has been good also many of the half day guide trips are leaving the river around noon opening up some of the best spots for the afternoon angler. A few fish are rising, and they can be caught.
