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.

Location
Middle Provo River
Overview
The flows on the Middle Provo River are still at 300 CFS coming out of the dam. Below the River Road bridge after the diversion, flows drop to about 190-150 CFS. Water temps are still good. Hatches have stayed relatively the same with Caddis and PMD’s hatching throughout the day. The fish seem to eat the caddis better than the PMD’s on any given day. There is a lull in hatches from around 3:00 to roughly 5:00 during the warmest part of the day. The river is fishing better on consistent weather days.

Weber River
Overview
The Weber has been fishing good. Below Rockport flows are fluctuating between 180 CFS and 200 CFS. We are still seeing Caddis and PMD’s throughout the day. The hopper bite has been pretty good as well during the warmer parts of the day (afternoon-sundown.) Nymphing has been the more productive option on any given day but there are dry fly opportunities.

Location
Green River Below Flaming Gorge Dam
Overview
The Green below Flaming Gorge Dam is flowing at an average of 1850 CFS. There is a bump from 1500 CFS up to 2000 CFS at 8:00 a.m. and another smaller bump to 2200 CFs at 2:00 p.m. With the inconsistent weather patterns the last week or so fishing has been okay, but in the last few days we have seen more fish looking at the surface again. Early mornings, nymphing will be your best option and as things warm up there will be some more dry fly opportunity.

Overview
Small stream fishing has been good, some streams are fishing better than others. Water temps across the board are on the warmer side. We are still seeing PMD’s, Caddis, and hoppers. Early mornings and late afternoons have been some of the more productive hours (before and after the highest heat times of the day.) Mid-day you will sometimes notice a lull in the fishing as fish beat the hottest time of the day.

Overview
Small stream fishing has been good, some streams are fishing better than others. Water temps across the board are pretty good, be wary of wide open small streams as they are the ones where temps will get higher, faster! We are seeing some PMD’s, Caddis, and hoppers. Early mornings and afternoons have been some of the more productive hours (before and after the highest heat times of the day.)
