Lower Provo River Fishing Reports

Location

Lower Provo River

Overview

The Lower Provo is now flowing at ~695 cfs out of the Deer Creek Reservoir. This flow is fishier than it has been so far this summer. Nymphing and streamers will be the most productive, but fish dries if you see them eating up top. PMDs and Caddis are out, so stick to their emerger patterns.

Overview

Spring is here and so are the flows. Its currently sitting at 500cfs, and were waiting for the springtime release to ease a full Deer Creek. Water is stained a bit on most days. Were still seeing midges and  BWOs. If nymphing is your game, go with scuds, sow bugs, midges, San Juan worms, and BWOs.  Streamer fishing has been ok, better on overcast days.
