Location

Middle Provo River

Overview

The Middle Provo is flowing at about 640 cfs. Be careful when wading the river. Nymph rigs with a large amount of weight will be the standard for getting flies down to some fish. Worms, Crane fly larvae, sow bugs, will be good choices in addition to the PMD nymphs and Midges. Try to find slower water areas with some depth to locate where the fish are holding. PMDs will come off around Noon and last a couple of hours. Caddis activity is primarily in the morning and evening.
