Location Lower Provo River Overview Fall is here and the flows have dropped.   The fishing has improved over the fall. The water has been murkey at times with Deer Creek being low and the wind turning the lake over. Dry fly fishing has been sporadic but good. Were seeing midges, BWOs and caddis. If your nymphing, stick to scuds, sow bugs, midges, San Juan worms, or BWOs.  With fall here the streamer fishing has been good, especially on overcast days.

Location Lower Provo River Overview After this weekend the rafters should be subsiding for the year.  Flows are still a little bit high on the Lower due to downstream water demands, but the fishing can be good.  If your nymphing, stick to scuds, sow bugs, midges, San Juan worms, or PMD's.  For dry flies try ants, hoppers, and some PMD's.  With the higher flows and Fall approaching streamer fishing is a great option to try.  I usually stick to smaller, classic streamers on the Provo; Zonkers, Wooly Buggers, Leech patterns, etc. Recent Flows 524 CFS Fishing Good Current Hatches PMDs, Caddis, Midges, Terrestrials Best Techniques Nymphs: Size 18-22 Sow bugs, bling midge, disco midge, juju midge, krystal flash PMD, split case PMD, mayhem emerger, San Juan Worm, Birds Nest Terrestrials: Parahopper size 12, Ant (black or cinnamon) size 16-18 Dry flies: Size 18-24 PMDs, Trailing Shuck PMD, Winger PMD, CDC biot comparadun, Hanging Midge, Silvey's midge, cluster Midge, Para Adams (small sizes), Peacock Caddis Streamers : Size 4-12 Zonker, wooly bugger, sculpzilla, sparkle minnow, baby sex-dungeon, slump buster, Best Time Of Day 8AM - 8 PM View archived lower Provo fishing reports here.
