Area Small Streams
Overview
Small stream fishing has been good in a couple spots so far, but many of the small streams are about to go nuts. You need to watch the water levels, and make your choices based on the stream flows, with seasons like this the fishing will be great if you catch one of the small streams right as it clears and warms. Stoneflies, Green Drakes, Yellow Sallies, all set to go off very soon. The next 10 days to 2 weeks will produce some epic fishing on the small streams.

Location
Weber River
Overview
The Weber has been fishing well despite the high flows. Some Yellow sallies are hatching and some PMD’s. The nymph fishing has been very good, just like the Provo, finding good water is the most challenging part of the day. Sow bugs and worms are catching them well, also the mayhem in black or grey. The farther down you go (towards Echo) the water gets more and more off color, so the better fishing is closer to Rockport Dam.
Latest Flows
~300 CFS below Rockport Reservoir
Fishing
Good
Current Hatches
Midges (20-24)
BWO’s (18-22)
Sow Bugs (14-16) Hothead in Tan!
Worms (all sizes and types)
Yellow Sallies and PMD’s ( try the Mayhem in black or grey)
Best Time Of Day
9am to 5pm
Location
Middle Provo River
Overview
The Middle Provo is moving at flowing just under 1800 cfs. from the Dam. While the water is high and moving quick the fishing is still good. Targeting slower moving parts of the river has been very productive. The fish or gorging on nymphs mostly worms and sow bugs. The most difficult task has been finding the good water, when you get a good spot (slower moving water with some depth) the fish are stacked there and catching them has been pretty easy (we are getting away with using 4X tippett). The afternoon has been good also many of the half day guide trips are leaving the river around noon opening up some of the best spots for the afternoon angler. A few fish are rising, and they can be caught.

Location
Green River Below Flaming Gorge Dam
Overview
The Green below Flaming Gorge Dam is still flowing at 825 cfs. This fishing has been good, we are seeing some crickets, some limited Cicadas, and very good fishing overall right now. The water temperature is rising quickly, and we expect to see Yellow sallies in the lower river very soon. The crickets (regular small black ones, not the large Mormon crickets) are producing some good dry fly action and the dry and dropper fishing is good also. Nymph fishing has been excellent. The lower river has cleared and is fishable now, (this could change with thunderstorms) time for the lower B section and C section.
