Middle Provo River Fishing Reports

Location

Middle Provo River

Overview

Spring has continued to be good on the middle provo. Flows have started to bump up and are currently at 325cfs from the dam. Fishing on the provo has been good, were just all holding our breath to see when the big flows happen for runoff.

Dry fly fishing on the Middle has been consistent (on days they havent bumped the flows) with the midges still barely hanging on early in the morning, and bwos on cloudy days. On bright sunny days there’s been sporadic skwala sightings

Nymph fishing remains productive in the Provo’s deeper holes.  In the mornings try sow bugs and various midge patterns.  As the day progresses start switching to midge and or bwo emergers and look for a possible hatch especially in riffled waters.

Small and Medium sized streamers have been working on days the water has been bumped and slightly off color.
