Small Streams Fishing Report 05/17/2026

  Location Area Small Streams Overview Small Streams across the state are coming into form on the earlier side this year due to our lack of snowpack this past winter. Most small streams in the Uintas (10k + feet) are still inaccessible due to the snowpack. We have been seeing a range of bugs on the ones that are open, like flying ants, caddis, BWO's, midges and other small terrestrials.

Weber River Fishing Report 05/17/2026

  Location Weber River Overview Good News, the Weber is back up to a healthy, fishable flow of 160 CFS. Warmer days have been more productive since the flows came up. We have been seeing Caddis, Baetis, Midges, and Sows in the river Latest Flows ~160 CFS Fishing conditions Good! Nymphing has been more productive on most days, especially colder days, with there being more dry fly opportunity on warmer days. 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. has been the ideal window to be fishing in on any given day, with there being more dry fly opportunities mid afternoon on warmer days.  Current Hatches Caddis: #18-22 (mid-day onward will be the best time)  Midges: #20-22 (all day) Baetis #20-24 (mornings until things start to warm up, we have been seeing more of these buggers on cooler days) Best Time Of Day 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Middle Provo River Fishing Report 05/17/2026

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. Recommended Flies Nymphs (Sub-surface) Sow Bugs: #18-22 (Grey, Tan, Rainbow) Midges: #22-26 (KF Flasher, Stalcup Midge, WD-40s, Bling Midges).

Green River Fishing Report 05/17/2026

    Current Conditions Summary From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. the Green River is hovering around 1100 CFS, and between those times there is a nighttime bump to 1500 CFs then it is brought back down to 1100 CFS in the morning. Fishing has been good and consistent post-high water. Discharge: ~1100 CFS (Steady releases). Clarity: Crystal clear (Section A is gin-clear; B & C may have slight tint if Red Creek is flowing, but generally clear). Water Temp: ~48°F. Outlook: Flows will likely remain steady at this level for the foreseeable future.  Weather & Timing Best Window: 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM. Weather: Highs in the high-60s, lows dipping into the low-30s. Strategy: The deep canyon walls keep the water shaded early and late. Focus your efforts on the sunlit hours when the water warms slightly, triggering midge and blue wing activity. With the flows subsiding, we are seeing more blue wings throughout the day, keep your eyes peeled for Caddis & Cicadas, we are still on the early side, but they should be around.  Hatches & Bug Activity Midges: clouds of tiny midges (#22-26) are active in the slicks and eddies most mornings. Blue-Winged Olives (BWOs): The main hatch occurring currently. Scuds/Sow Bugs: A constant food source in the moss beds, especially in Section A. Recommended Flies Nymphs (Sub-surface) Scuds: #14-18 (Olive, Grey, Tan) . Midges: #20-24 (Zebra Midge, bling midge, WD-40s in Black, Red, Grey).
