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 Area Small Streams Overview Most small streams are fishing very well. Some rivers are on the warmer side so be wary fishing the afternoons but early mornings are pretty safe. We have been seeing Hatch bugs (PMD's, Caddis, Stoneflies) on many rivers as well as small hoppers and other Terrestrials. For more specific information, give the shop a call at 435-658-1166.

Location Lower Provo River Overview The Lower Provo is flowing at about 700 CFS. The river is high and the fishing has been decent. Where you can find flatter and slower water you can usually find fish. It is tricky with the higher flows but there are opportunities for good Dry Fly fishing and Nymphing. There are Caddis, Sallies, and PMD's hatching throughout the day, but the hatch is much more sporadic with the higher flows. Watch out for tubers!

Location Green River Below Flaming Gorge Dam Overview From 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. flows are sitting around 1600 CFS. Dry fly fishing has been good with lulls throughout the day. Nymphing has been just as productive as well. We have seen plenty of PMD's and Caddis throughout the river and a few Sallies further down stream. Some fish are willing to eat Hoppers and other terrestrials like flying ants, but it will take a bit more work to find those fish.

Location Middle Provo River Overview The Middle section of the Provo River has been fishing well the last few weeks. Flows from the dam are about 320 CFS and below river road; 170 CFS. The river has been productive all day fishing Midges early on and then Caddis and PMD's as the day progresses. There has been a lull in the fishing between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m., but the river does not shut off completely. Nymphing has been productive all day and there is plenty of dry fly opportunity from sun up to sun down.

Location Weber River Overview The Weber is currently flowing at 200 CFs below the Rockport Dam. Fishing has been good with nymphing being your most productive option. There is some dry fly opportunity throughout the day, but hunt for those rising fish. Early mornings have been most productive fishing midges until PMD's start moving around. There are caddis on the water, but the hatch is very sporadic. On most warm days the water temps are getting pretty warm the further down stream you go.
