Location
Lower Provo River
Overview
The lower has been fishing great this spring, especially with the reduction in weeds. You will run into midges most hours of the day, but as the Blue Wings hatch, you will see the fish turn their attention to feeding on BWO’s. The Blue Wing Olive hatch tends to be very weather dependent, cloud cover will produce a much better hatch. Sow bugs are getting them too so use a sow until you decide to go dry and hunt heads. Dry fly fishing has been better in the afternoons.

Overview
The lower provo seems to have hit its winter flow. The fishing has been good with a mix of midges and baetis, however with the drop in flow it has been super weedy. Making targeting and landing fish a challenge. Once things cool down the weed problem should disappear. Please be on the look out for redds and avoid stepping on them.

Overview
The lower provo has been dropping the last month from 500cfs to about 160cfs. And the cooler weather has helped dwindle the tube hatch. Fishing has been about the same as the middle provo with decent baetis and midge hatches going on throughout the day. Nymphing has still been best with dry flies being good during active hatches. Streamer fishing should be picking up with the cooler weather.

Lower Provo River
Overview
Rubber Hatch. The river is flowing around 500 cfs but has been fluctuating a bit. Fishing can be good if you don’t mind the river traffic. This is a somewhat high flow so be cautious when wading. Nymphing should be the most productive. Try out your PMDs, sows, and caddis nymphs. The slow and deep pools are not the only places holding fish.
