Location
Lower Provo River
Overview
Flows are really high on the lower right now. With flows above 700 CFS, wade fishing becomes extremely difficult. If you are going to try it, I would stick to the usual suspects…sow bugs, midges, scuds. There might be some PMDs flying around but we haven’t had recent reports of any dry fly fishing on the lower. The “tuber hatch” is in full swing now which makes the river super tough to fish. I would only recommend going to fish the lower to people with some sort of raft of way to float down the river.
