Location
Lower Provo River
Overview
The flow on the lower Provo is around 100 CFS. The fishing has been good Nymphing has been the most productive method. The midges are hatching and some Baetis, sow bugs in small sizes are working also. The river is not as busy as it was around the New Year, the cold weather is keeping some anglers at the vise and not on the water. The tip for the lower is to give the streamers a shot during the low light periods, mornings, evenings, or on overcast days. Overcast days with less wind we are also seeing some rising fish working on midges and on some Baetis. For those of you nymphing find a deep slower area and work the water until you find the depth and area with fish then stay there, fish are grouped together and not moving much to eat the small nymphs. Expect light strikes and be prepared!
