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.
Following are the latest reports in descending order of when they were last updated. As a result, you may see multiple reports on the same destination if we haven't updated one of the other destinations recently. If you want to view previous fishing reports, you can click on the category name link under the report title or use the dropdown menu in the top navigation or follow the links in the sidebar. You can also use the following links to each category: Lower Provo, Middle Provo, Weber River, Green River and Small Streams :
Location
Area Small Streams
Overview
Small stream fishing has been good, some streams are fishing better than others. Water temps across the board are pretty good, be wary of wide open small streams as they are the ones where temps will get higher, faster! We are seeing some PMD’s, Caddis, and hoppers. Early mornings and afternoons have been some of the more productive hours (before and after the highest heat times of the day.)

Location
Green River Below Flaming Gorge Dam
Overview
The Green below Flaming Gorge Dam is flowing at 1350 CFS. Starting tomorrow (July 30th) the average daily releases will be 1800 CFS. There will be a 10 a.m. bump from about 1200 CFS up to 2000+ CFS. This fishing has been good, but can be tricky. We are seeing lots of fish pushed up close to the banks. Dry fly fishing has been good, but do not rule out running a dropper (or even just nymphing.)

Weber River
Overview
The Weber has been fishing good. Some Yellow sallies are hatching and there are PMD’s and Caddis throughout the day. Flows have stabilized and we are seeing a consistent flow of 150 to 170 CFS. We are in the warmest part of the year, and the Weber can warm up, this does not mean you can not fish it, but keep an eye on those water temps.

Location
Middle Provo River
Overview
The flows on the Middle Provo River have finally come down to a normal flow of 300 CFS. Water temps are good and the river is much more navigable. Hatches have stayed relatively the same with Caddis and PMD’s hatching throughout the day. There is a lull in hatches from around 3:00 to roughly 5:00 during the warmest part of the day. We are seeing the end of the Green Drake hatch, but you may still find some fish here and there throughout the day willing to eat one.

Location
Middle Provo River
Overview
The flows on the Middle Provo have been bumped back up 20 about 720 CFS. We have mostly been seeing Caddis and PMD’s on any given day. There are a few Yellow Sallies around throughout the day. Green Drakes have been spotted on the lower parts of the river, and we expect to see them moving upstream soon. Nymphing has still been the most productive option.
