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.

There has been sporadic sighting of green drakes in River road South and Bunny farm area. The hatch will continue to move up river and has been later in the day. There has also been sporadic PMDs and caddis. Nymphing is still the most productive method mixing up midges, pmds and caddis. The dry fly bite is on during the active hatch.

Location
Green River Below Flaming Gorge Dam
Overview
The Green is back down to a ~1050 cfs flow below Flaming Gorge Dam, and will be rising by 60 cfs daily until it reaches 1320 cfs July 6th. As the water gets higher the fishing will improve. The Cicadas seem to be tapering off, but the Yellow Sally hatch is going on sunny days which is great for both nymphing and dry fly fishing. The PMDs will be out too, as well as Caddis in the evening.

Location
Middle Provo River
Overview
The Middle Provo is flowing at about 640 cfs. Be careful when wading the river. Nymph rigs with a large amount of weight will be the standard for getting flies down to some fish. Worms, Crane fly larvae, sow bugs, will be good choices in addition to the PMD nymphs and Midges. Try to find slower water areas with some depth to locate where the fish are holding. PMDs will come off around Noon and last a couple of hours. Caddis activity is primarily in the morning and evening.

Overview

Try fishing the emerger patterns. Lots of boats and tubes on the river now, so be prepared to be asked “how’s the fishing?” throughout the day.

Location
Area Small Streams
Overview
Some of the small streams are still at normal flow “Current Creek for instance” and some are high and in full runoff. So each location may have very different conditions, best to call 435-658-1166 and find out our latest info if you are headed to any of these areas. As the snow melts and the small streams start to rise in flow, the water has the potential to be off color or washed out. This is normal for small streams during the runoff season, but that doesn’t mean the fishing is bad necessarily. Try nymphing things like worms, leeches, and sow bugs if you find yourself fishing high water on a small stream.
