Similar to fishing the lower Provo, success is fair on the middle Provo as well. The river is getting a little more fishing pressure each day, and air temps are looking promising which should increase water temps and fishing success. Flows are also starting to increase with each passing week. Higher flows typically result in fish moving to soft edges and seems that are fishable even when there is too much water to wade. A go-to fly pattern during high flows on most rivers is the San Juan Worm. This proved true today since that was the only pattern that produces any strikes. As fish accustom themselves with the increasing flows, success while fly fishing the middle Provo will improve, it always does!

The fly that worked today was:

San Juan Worm

Today’s flows were: 337 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!
