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
Lower Provo River
Overview
The Lower Section of the Provo River below Deer Creek Reservoir is currently at about 400 CFS, this is still a higher flow but a good flow for any kind of fly fishing. Targeting slower sections of river has been more productive. Tubers have been floating down the river at about 9:30 in the morning, sometimes earlier on weekends and warmer days. Nymphing has been the more productive option while the flows are still on the higher side, as we reach the warmer parts of the day, dry fly opportunities present themselves.

Overview
Flows have been slowly starting to ramp up on the provo. The Middle is currently at 550cfs. Small flies have been the name of the game. Wether using Sows, midges, or bwos. The smaller the better. There has also been some Caddis nymphs in the water, though no adults seen yet. Keep your flies and tippet small despite the increase in flows. Dry fly fishing has been sporadic.
