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 river below Flaming Gorge Dam has just been dropped to about 1000 cfs. This a big reduction in the flow, but the fish have responded well and the fishing is really good. Nymphing should be the most productive, however if you see heads up try the dry. The fishing is dependent on the hatch, so midges and baetis are the way to go.

Location
Area Small Streams
Overview
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.

Location
Weber River
Overview
The Weber River is back down to about 25 cfs. Midges, Baetis, Sow Bugs will most likely work, but this flow is low and the fish might need a break from being fished. We recommend trying to find some other water until the flows come back up.

Location
Lower Provo River
Overview
The Lower Provo is flowing at ~665 cfs out of the Deer Creek Reservoir. Fishing will be tough at this flow, but they will be eating. The fish are on baetis and midge nymphs, as well as sow bugs. The midges are in the morning, the baetis are mid-afternoon with better activity during cloud cover. Use caution on the Lower right now, this flow is swift.

Location
Middle Provo River
Overview
The Middle Provo is flowing at ~330 cfs out of the Jordanelle Dam. The midges are still being seen in the mornings, and sometimes all day. Midge emergers have been very productive. Baetis are around, especially on the cloudy days. You’ll start seeing them just before Noon. BWO emergers should also be productive if the fish are picky and not eating the dry as well.
