Middle Provo River Fishing Reports

Location

Middle Provo River

Overview

Fishing continues to be great on the Middle Provo right now.  The days are longer, the temperatures are warmer, and the fish are active.  The midge hatch is still great and more and the beatis hatch continues to be strong depending on the day.  Dry fly fishing can be fantastic and the nymph and streamer fishing is quite productive as well.  Cloudy days will bring out the beatis and sunny days will bring out the midges.  The middle of the day into the afternoon is still the best time to hit the river in the Spring.  If you get there early or stay late the streamer fishing has been good before and after the hatch.

Middle Provo River

Overview

Most of our angling of late has been on the Middle Provo. Fishing has been good but varied depending on conditions and location. Sunny days have been productive on nymphs, midges and sow bugs in very small sizes, as the guides say start at size 20 and work even smaller from there. Cloudy days with calm conditions have been the best for dry fly fishing, once again keep the flies small size 22 and 24, if you can see them fish even smaller, size 28 Griffiths gnat will get them well, but you need fighter pilot vision to see them. Streamers have been catching some but on a very limited basis, best on the overcast days or other low light conditions. Nice days on the weekends have produced full parking lots, sorry, but weekdays have been less crowded. Stormy days have been the least busy. Most of the anglers are working the water closer to the Jordanelle Dam, the further downstream you travel the less anglers you should see. The hot tip for the Middle has been fishing the lower part of the river, less anglers and less fishing pressure and more productive nymph fishing, some rainbows also. Try a small purple zebra midge 22 or 24 and work the water carefully making sure you cover all the likely spots and depths. Once again fish are in groups and where you find one you should find some more also. Not too long to wait now and we should see some larger midges and a big improvement in the dry fly action. When it happens we will update this report.
