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 is projected to come down and the cicadas have the potential to go off. This means epic dry fly activity with cicada patterns. The flow currently is at ~9150 cfs, but the schedule (picture posted above) shows the schedule for future flows. June 24th should be the day to get out and fish dries. Latest Flows ~9150 cfs Fishing OK but about to get much better.

Location Green River Below Flaming Gorge Dam Overview The Yampa River is projected to peak, so the Green River Flows will be reduced soon so not to flood the Jensen Utah Area. This means once the Yampa is back down, the Green will likely go back up. Dry fly fishing is practically non-existent, but try fishing a cicada pattern if you're determined to fish up top. Nymphing is your best bet. Streamers are always a great option for higher flows. Fingers crossed we can get to a more fishy flow.

Location Lower Provo River Overview Spring runoff has made it down to the Lower Provo as well, with a very high and swift flow of ~1135 cfs coming out of Deer Creek Reservoir. If you were to try and fish you should stick to streamers or deep heavy nymph rigs. Use extreme caution near the river. Recent Flows ~1135 cfs Fishing Meh. Current Hatches maybe Midges Best Techniques Nymphs: Size 16 and smaller Sow bugs, bling midge, disco midge, baetis nymph, San Juan Worm Streamers : Size 4-12 Wooly bugger, sculpzilla, sparkle minnow, dungeon, flugenzombie, heisenburg Best Time Of Day 9AM - 5PM View archived lower Provo fishing reports here.
Location Middle Provo River Overview Runoff is here. The Middle Provo is at ~950 cfs so be very cautious. This flow is very high and the water is swift. Dry fly fishing on the Middle is sparse at this flow. Nymphing has been decent. Add more weight to your rig to drop those flies down. Slower water will be your friend. Try fishing the flies from your "junk food collection" AKA Sow Bugs, San Juan Worms, Wigglies, Squirmies, Scuds, and some midges or caddis nymphs. Small and Medium sized streamers have been working on cloudy days or when the water is slightly off color. Latest Flows Dam: ~950 cfs Charleston: ~1143 cfs Fishing OK Current Hatches Midges with a few caddis and skwala sightings Best Patterns Nymphs size 16 and smaller Sparkle Pupa, Sow Bug, Ray Charles, Zebra midge, Bling Midge in tan or gray, Cardinal Midge, Worm patterns, Scuds Dries size 18-22 Matt’s Midge, CDC Midge, Parachute adams, Elk Hair Caddis Streamers Dungeons, Wooly Buggers, Sparkle Minnow Best Time Of Day 9AM - 6 PM.

Location Weber River Overview Weber River flows are ~728cfs and it is fishing pretty consistent with sow bugs, midge nymphs, caddis nymphs, and worm patterns. Fish are moving into faster water so change up where you drift. Weather affects the Weber heavily so there's a chance it will be off color with storms. Streamers might be worth a shot. Latest Flows ~728 CFS below Rockport Reservoir Fishing Overall fishing well with the possibility of a few off-color days Current Hatches Midges, Caddis Best Techniques: Nymphing fast and deep Nymphs and streamers Bigger sows 12-16 San Juan worms Zebra midge Best Time Of Day 10 AM to 3PM Photo Credit: Aaron Adams View archived Weber river fishing reports here.
