Today we fished the Middle Provo from 6:30 this morning until 11:30. We caught a few fish early by nymphing, and right around eight o’clock the sun came direclty into contact with the water’s surface and things picked up from there. From eight to nine we caught a good number of fish nymphing cased caddis patterns. Around nine there was a good number of fish rising to egg laying caddis adults. We switched to dries and proceeded to catch fish on top until eleven when everything seemed to shut down. We fished our dry fly caddis imitations dead drift, skittering, and on the swing, all of which caught fish. Trout were actively persuing caddis adults and many of our takes were explosive and extra aggressive. It was a very fun and productive morning.

This past Saturday, July 3, Utah Pro Fly Fishing, guided a fun group of five. From about 6:30 in the morning until around ten fish seemed to be focusing on cased caddis imitations and red zebra midges. There were no hatches taking place early in the morning, but by around nine there were some size 14 sally stoneflies crawling on us, and some adult craneflies buzzing around. Flows were great, and the river was running clear as usual. Since it was the fourth of July weekend the river started to get pretty crowded from about 8:30 on. It was fishing well for our clients, and I’m betting there were a lot of nice fish caught that day by others as well. If you plan on fishing the middle Provo early in the morning, be sure to tie up, or buy some cased caddis and of course a variety of Zebra Midges.

Flies that caught fish were:

Peacock Cased Caddis: size 16
Red Zebra Midge: sizes 16-18

Flows that day were: 480 cfs
