Middle Provo River

Overview

The Middle Provo out of Jordanelle Dam is flowing at 250 CFS, below the diversion on Old Highway 40, the river is flowing at about 150 CFS. The fishing has been good, but varies from day to day. While there is some dry fly opportunity, nymphing is the more productive option. We are seeing the end of the PMD’s and there are some BWO’s and Baetis starting to make an appearance. Caddis will still be on the menu for the next month or so.

Location

Middle Provo River

Overview

The flows on the Middle Provo River are still at 300 CFS coming out of the dam. Below the River Road bridge after the diversion, flows drop to about 190-150 CFS. Water temps are still good. Hatches have stayed relatively the same with Caddis and PMD’s hatching throughout the day. The fish seem to eat the caddis better than the PMD’s on any given day. There is a lull in hatches from around 3:00 to roughly 5:00 during the warmest part of the day. The river is fishing better on consistent weather days.

Middle Provo River Fishing Report 07/05/2023

Location

Middle Provo River

Overview

We are starting to see flows come down on the Middle Provo, with the dam release this morning being at 623 CFS. There is still a large amount of water moving through the river, but it is getting better day by day. There are some Caddis and PMD’s on the surface, but there isn’t a specific hatch yet, bugs are sporadic. That being said, nymphing has been productive throughout all times of the day. Water temps are still very cold, as soon as those come up, we should start seeing more consistent hatches.
