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.

We are always happy to update you with current conditions on many other Utah waters and fisheries in surrounding states as well.

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.

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.

Small stream fishing has been good, some streams are fishing better than others.

Early mornings and afternoons have been some of the more productive hours (before and after the highest heat times of the day.)
