The lower Provo is currently fishing great. Our Utah fly fishing guides helped our clients catch fish from 7:00 am until 5:00. Every hour was productive, with a few occasional slow moments spread throughout the day. The average size fish was excellent, and the number of fish caught was high. They fished a standard indicator nymph rig that places their flies deep in the zone of the fish. The lower Provo gets a lot of pressure everyday, so these fish are smart. It is imperative to get perfect drag-free drifts in order catch the larger fish. If you fish the right depth with good drifts and the right flies, there are so many fish in the Lower Provo that you are bound to catch fish.

Flows today were: 420 cfs

We are still waiting for things to pick up here. The weather is still up and down, and so is the fishing on the lower Provo. Today our clients fished well with very minimal success. We tried various midge, mayfly, and caddis nymphs and nothing seemed to turn on the fish. We are still between hatches here and we are still awaiting the PMD’s and caddis hatches that will accompany warmer consistent weather. Underwater bug action will increase any day now and that will certainly increase the success of trout fishing in Utah.

Today’s flows were: 405 cfs

Utah Flyfishing on the lower Provo is currently fishing fair, mostly due to the changing weather patterns that can’t decide whether to warm things up or keep them cool. BWO hatches are tapering off, and other hatches are awaiting warmer days. Fish are feeding primarily on small midges larva with an occasional tiny mayfly nymph in the mix. The only visible adult mayflies were small BWO spinners and we only spotted a few (pictured here). Utah fly fishing guides have had success fishing all water types, but soft seams are still holding the most fish.

Flies that worked today include:

Zebra Midge
Golden Midge

Today’s Flows were: ~ 800 cfs

Trout fishing in Utah is about to heat up, don’t miss out!
