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 Weber River Overview Fishing on the Weber has been a little rough this fall. Water temps were warm and then the river dropped to 22cfs. With cooler temps things should have improved slightly, but conditions will still be pretty tough. Be on the lookout for spawning fish, and please don't step on redds. Latest Flows 22 CFS below Rockport Reservoir Fishing Bleh Current Hatches Midges, BWOs, Caddis, Small streamers Best Techniques Nymphs, streamers, or dry flies. Best Time Of Day 10 AM - Dark View archived Weber river fishing reports here.
Location Area Small Streams Overview Fall is here. Small streams can be hit or miss this time of year. Fishing is dependent on flows (or lack there of) and temps. Be on the lookout for spawning Brown and Brook trout and try to avoid their redds. Unfortunately, due to the Dollar Ridge Fire the Strawberry Pinnacles access road is closed and we expect there to be a pretty substantial fish kill. Latest Flows Most small streams are at their winter flows for the year (17cfs seems to be a common theme).

Location Area Small Streams Overview Late Summer into early Fall is time to get out on Utah's small streams. Enjoy them before Winter sets in! It's terrestrial season. Throw hoppers, ants, or stimulators. Look for midges and tricos in the mornings and you will also still see some PMD's mid day and Caddis activity in the evenings. Unfortunately, due to the Dollar Ridge Fire the Strawberry Pinnacles access road is closed and we expect there to be a pretty substantial fish kill.

Location Weber River Overview Fishing on the Weber has been great this summer. There are still some PMD's midday and Caddis flying around into the evening. Early in the morning there is a decent midge hatch as well. During the late summer and into the Fall, you can find some great terrestrial fishing. Keep on moving and working the banks with a hopper or an ant pattern. The Weber has been busy this summer due to high flows on the Lower and Middle Provo River, but as flows subside there angling pressure will spread out across the region. Enjoy the cooler temps and great fishing! Latest Flows 200 CFS below Rockport Reservoir Fishing Good/Great Current Hatches Midges, PMD's, Caddis, Terrestrials. Best Techniques Nymphs, streamers, or dry flies. Best Time Of Day 8 AM - Dark View archived Weber river fishing reports here.
Location Middle Provo River Overview The water is still high, but the fishing is good. The river is still crossable in many places but make sure to use caution when stepping off the bank. A wading stick is never a bad option when the flows are a little high. The dry fly fishing on the Middle has been consistent with Caddis coming off early in the mornings and PMDs starting around mid-morning. The classic evening caddis hatches on the Provo are well underway with some great dry fly fishing occurring right at dusk. Nymph fishing remains productive on the Provo. In the mornings try sow bugs and midges. As the day progresses start switching to PMD's and Caddis flies.
