Location Green River Below Flaming Gorge Dam Overview The fishing on the Green has been great. For the past few days the flows have started out at around 1200 CFS and have increased to 2200 CFS around 10 AM. This has led to quite a bit of moss getting stirred up, but has not really effected the hatches. The midge hatch is still very thick in the morning, but the Baetis are starting to dwindle. We have heard and seen some cicadas on the river, lots of crickets are around, some flying ants, and some grasshoppers are also around. Look for fish to be sipping on midges and baetis in the slow back eddies and scum lines. The terrestrial fishing has been good in the moving water. The water is starting to warm up, 46 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 and in the afternoons when they bump the flows. 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). The midge hatch has been quite impressive until about 10 AM. Depending on the day you can see some caddis activity. Now is a great time to get out to the Green River. Latest Flows 1200-2200 CFS.

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 in full swing and the evening caddis dry fly fishing can be fantastic. For those of you who want more solitude the Weber is a great alternative. Sow bugs, small midges, beatis, and some cased caddis are your best nymphs this time of year. Try a lightly weighted streamer early or during the overcast days.

Location Lower Provo River Overview The flow on the Lower Provo is around 529 CFS. This makes wade fishing a little bit more difficult. The baetis hatch is winding down, but midges are still active throughout the day. 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 baetis are still coming off mid day. Sow bugs in smaller sizes are also working.

Location Middle Provo River Overview Fishing continues to be good on the Middle Provo right now. The days are longer, the temperatures are warmer, and the fish are active. The midge hatch continues early in the morning or late in the day, look for blue wings on the overcast days and caddis activity on the sunny ones.. Dry fly fishing can be fantastic and the nymph and streamer fishing is quite productive as well. The middle of the day into the afternoon is still the best time to hit the river in the Spring. Flows are a little bit higher than they were a few weeks ago so be mindful of where you are crossing the river. If you get there early or stay late the streamer fishing has been good before and after the hatch.
