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.
Following are the latest reports in descending order of when they were last updated. As a result, you may see multiple reports on the same destination if we haven't updated one of the other destinations recently. If you want to view previous fishing reports, you can click on the category name link under the report title or use the dropdown menu in the top navigation or follow the links in the sidebar. You can also use the following links to each category: Lower Provo, Middle Provo, Weber River, Green River and Small Streams :
Lower Provo River
The Lower Provo is currently high and off-color. The most productive method will be nymphing. Try using san juan worms, and sow bugs. The streamer bite should be getting better in the next few weeks. Use a sink tip line to get down in the heavy current.

Green River Below Flaming Gorge Dam
The Green is flowing around 1440 cfs during the day, and it is being dropped at night to about 1000 cfs. The fishing is good. Nymphing will be the most productive method, but fish are rising on pseudos in the morning, and eating caddis dries and terrestrials in the afternoon/evening. Streamers are fishing too, try a black marabou bugger. As the colder weather sets in the streamer bite should become more consistent.

Weber River
The Weber River is flowing at ~190 cfs out of Rockport Dam. This a lower flow, and the moss is in the river. This can make fishing difficult, and you will have to clean off your flies every couple of drifts. If you decide to give it a shot try nymphing your typical sow bugs, tiny midges, and san juans. The current hatches are midges, caddis, and baetis.

Middle Provo River
Fishing on the Middle Provo can be challenging for some right now, but the most productive method will be nymphing smaller sized flies with smaller tippet (6X). The midges are consistent, and we’re starting to see baetis on overcast days or in the afternoons. The streamer bite is right around the corner so might as well start throwing some. The caddis are out too, and we are seeing both olive and grey.

Area Small Streams
Be careful with water temps before you start fishing. If it feels like bath water when you step in, its too warm to fish. Upper elevation small streams are in great form right now. Its time to throw foam bugs!
