Our Utah fly fishing reports offer a brief overview of current conditions on our waters. You'll find fishing reports for the main Utah rivers and streams that we guide on and fish regularly. Reports for the Lower Provo, Middle Provo, Weber River, Green River and Small Streams are included.
We write the reports based on our daily experiences on the water and information received from customers. We update the reports as conditions change and our schedule permits. If you don’t see what you are looking for, please give us a call at the shop or contact us here. We are always happy to update you with current conditions on many other Utah waters and fisheries in surrounding states as well.

Location Green River Below Flaming Gorge Dam Overview The Green below Flaming Gorge Dam is flowing at an average of 1850 CFS. There is a bump from 1500 CFS up to 2000 CFS at 8:00 a.m. and another smaller bump to 2200 CFs at 2:00 p.m. With the inconsistent weather patterns the last week or so fishing has been okay, but in the last few days we have seen more fish looking at the surface again. Early mornings, nymphing will be your best option and as things warm up there will be some more dry fly opportunity.

Location Area Small Streams Overview Small stream fishing has been good, some streams are fishing better than others. Water temps across the board are on the warmer side. We are still seeing PMD's, Caddis, and hoppers. Early mornings and late afternoons have been some of the more productive hours (before and after the highest heat times of the day.) Mid-day you will sometimes notice a lull in the fishing as fish beat the hottest time of the day.

Location Area Small Streams Overview Small stream fishing has been good, some streams are fishing better than others. Water temps across the board are pretty good, be wary of wide open small streams as they are the ones where temps will get higher, faster! We are seeing some PMD's, Caddis, and hoppers.
