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.

Weber River
The Weber River is back to a good fishable flow at around 200 cfs. Midges, Baetis, Sow Bugs will most likely work. Try fishing some worm patterns, because the water just came up.

Green River Below Flaming Gorge Dam
Streamer fishing on the Green has been excellent. The river has a fluctuation of flows during the day. The flow will spike in the A.M. from just about 1300 cfs to ~2500 cfs and remain at the peak flow for a few hours before dropping again. The fishing will be better when the river is higher so try to get out when the flows are peaking.
~1300 – ~2500 cfs
