Current Conditions Summary The Middle Provo is flowing at 260 CFS, below the River Road Bridge it is about 140 CFS. Nymphing is still the most consistent fishing. Fishing from sun-up to sun-down has been good. Dry fly opportunity is sporadic, but fairly decent, and nymphing will be your most productive option. We have seen some caddis around, usually around 4 p.m. they will make an appearance, warmer days should be better for those bugs to come out. Flow & Water Discharge: 260 CFS (Cubic Feet per Second). Clarity: Clear Water Temp: Holding steady at 42 (°F). Outlook: Good late spring fishing! Weather & Timing Best Window: When the sun is up! Weather: Expect crisp mornings with temperatures rising into the 40s or low 50s. Strategy: No need to be out there pre sunrise, nymphing will continue to be a great option, with good dry fly windows throughout the day. Hatches & Bug Activity The main activity of the river right now is Midges and Baetis (BWOs). Midges: Seen hatching most mornings. Baetis (BWOs): Expect these on overcast or slightly stormy days. They tend to pop off around 11:30 PM - 2:00 PM. They are the main food source currently. Caddis: Mid-afternoon they should be out there! On warmer days, there is likely to be more caddis activity.
