Location Lower Provo River Overview Flows on the lower have come down a bit, but are still a little high at 583 CFS. These flows make wade fishing less productive. Use caution when crossing and getting to your spot. Although the flows are high, the fishing remains very good. There have been good PMD and Caddis hatches in the afternoon with some smaller stoneflies around as well. Nymphing with sow bugs and midges is usually the best approach on the Lower Provo. These fish see a lot of pressure due to the amount of rafters on the river and are usually more willing to eat a nymph during the summer months. The "tuber hatch" is in full effect making the river extremely crowded mid-day. For the most solace, try getting out there early morning or late evening. These times of day can produce some of the best fishing as well.

Location Middle Provo River Overview The flows on the Middle Provo are high right now. Be careful when wading. Nymphing or streamer fishing will be your most productive means of catching fish. The midge hatch continues early in the morning and late in the day. Look for some caddis activity and some PMD activity on the sunny days. The middle of the day into the afternoon is still the best time to hit the river in the Spring. Due to the flows, try using a San Juan worm as your point fly and either a midge, caddis, or PMD as your other nymph. If you get there early or stay late the streamer fishing has been good.

Location Lower Provo River Overview The flow on the Lower Provo is around 580 CFS. This makes wade fishing a little bit more difficult. With the higher flows, nymphing is the most productive way to fish the Lower Provo right now. Midges are hatching in the morning and evenings and some PMDs are beginning to come off later in the day. Sow bugs in smaller sizes are also working. Recent Flows 580 CFS Fishing Good Current Hatches Midges and some PMDs.

Location Weber River Overview Water levels on the Weber between Rockport and Echo are great for fishing right now. The Mother's Day Caddis are dwindling, but the evening caddis dry fly fishing can still be fantastic. There has been some PMD activity and with the warmer weather the yellow sallies should be starting to move. For those of you who want more solitude the Weber is a great alternative. Sow bugs, small midges, PMDs, and some cased caddis are your best nymphs this time of year. Try a lightly weighted streamer early or during the overcast days.

Location Green River Below Flaming Gorge Dam Overview The fishing on the Green has been great. On June 8, the river will be settling down to its summertime flow of 2015 CFS throughout the day with a bump to 2180 CFS at 4 PM. There are still some cicadas on the river, mainly concentrated on the A section, lots of crickets are around, flying ants, and some grasshoppers are also starting to show up. In the early morning there is a thick midge hatch. The blue wings are done for the season, but there are some caddis and PMDs that are beginning to show. Look for fish to be sipping on midges and cicadas in the slow back eddies and scum lines. Fish will also be looking for cicadas in the pocket water. The terrestrial fishing has been pretty decent. The water is around 48 degrees Fahrenheit, so fish are becoming more suspended and more willing to eat dry flies and terrestrials. The dry dropper fishing and single point dry fly fishing is pretty good throughout the day. Persistence pays off when fishing dry flies. Nymphing continues to produce fish. The streamer bite has been pretty good on overcast days, early in the morning, and in the evening. Sink tips and a slow strip will produce some great fish. Lighter colors on bright days (white, gold, ginger) and darker colors on dark days (olive and black). Now is a great time to get out to the Green River. Latest Flows 2015 CFS.
