Location
Lower Provo River
Overview
The Lower Provo is at hovering around 500 CFS and the fishing is good! Early mornings we have been seeing midges, nymphing for these fish has been more productive but there is some dry fly opportunity. Around mid-day blue wings make an appearance and the dry fly fishing picks up. Around sun down the fishing slows down. Nymphing sow bugs has been very productive and consistent. Look for rising fish if you want to throw dries.

Overview
The Lower Section of the Provo River below Deer Creek Reservoir is currently at about 150 CFS. Flows have been up and down the last few weeks but the fishing has remained relatively consistent. Nymphing sow bugs has been productive during the warmer parts of the day (10am to 4pm.) Pairing a small midge or baetis above a sowbug on your nymph rig can attract some attention as well. That canyon can get pretty windy this time of year so be prepared for some chilly temps!

Overview
The Lower Section of the Provo River below Deer Creek Reservoir is currently at about 150 CFS. Flows have been up and down the last few weeks with not a lot of consistency. During the bumps and drops in flows the fishing can get tricky, nymphing will be your most productive option. There are caddis and PMD’s throughout the day, with the PMD hatch really starting to go off in the afternoons.

Lower Provo River
Overview
The Lower Section of the Provo River below Deer Creek Reservoir is currently at about 400 CFS, this is still a higher flow but a good flow for any kind of fly fishing. Targeting slower sections of river has been more productive. Tubers have been floating down the river at about 9:30 in the morning, sometimes earlier on weekends and warmer days. Nymphing has been the more productive option while the flows are still on the higher side, as we reach the warmer parts of the day, dry fly opportunities present themselves.
