Middle Provo River

Overview

Flows have increased on the Middle Provo river.  There has been a good midge hatch and some blue wings are on the river.  You might also come across some Mother’s Day caddis on the water.  With the higher flow target the slower moving water and look for risers in the back eddies.  If you are nymphing try using a San Juan worm  or larger sow bug as your attractor pattern and trail that fly with a midge or a blue wing nymph.  Be mindful of the high flows and make sure you get your footing before trying to wade into the river.
