Location
Middle Provo River
Overview
The middle provo has hit its winter flows of ~150cfs-130cfs. Fishing has been good on a mix of baetis and midges. From river road south up to the dam has had a decent hatch most days though timing has been variable on when it starts, most action has been from 11-3ish. The fish are still hanging out in shallow riffles as well so you dont need to only focus on the classic holes. Please avoid stepping on any redds you see.

Location
Lower Provo River
Overview
The lower provo seems to have hit its winter flow. The fishing has been good with a mix of midges and baetis, however with the drop in flow it has been super weedy. Making targeting and landing fish a challenge. Once things cool down the weed problem should disappear. Please be on the look out for redds and avoid stepping on them.

Location
Lower Provo River
Overview
The lower provo has been dropping the last month from 500cfs to about 160cfs. And the cooler weather has helped dwindle the tube hatch. Fishing has been about the same as the middle provo with decent baetis and midge hatches going on throughout the day. Nymphing has still been best with dry flies being good during active hatches. Streamer fishing should be picking up with the cooler weather.

Location
Middle Provo River
Overview
The Provo has been at 150cfs since the end of September. The drop in flows has made the fishing a little bit trickier. With the colder weather we have started to see a strong baetis hatch especially on the cloudy days. Try a variety of small (22-24) midges and gray and olive baetis emergers. There has been a couple sporadic sightings of October caddis.

Location
Green River Below Flaming Gorge Dam
Overview
Flows are still running in the ~1600 cfs range. The timing of the bump from 800cfs to 1800cfs has been a bit variable in the mornings. So be careful if your wade fishing to not get caught where you cant cross back. With all the rain recently red creek has been blowing out with each storm. Up high there has been a strong baetis hatch in the mornings along with midges and a couple tricos still hanging out. Nymphing has been ok throughout the day and the dry fly fishing has been spectacular at times. With the change in weather the dry fly fishing may slow down but the streamer fishing should pick up.
