We write the reports based on our daily experiences on the water and information received from customers. We update the reports as conditions change and our schedule permits.

Location
Lower Provo River
Overview
Rubber Hatch. The river is flowing around 500 cfs but has been fluctuating a bit. Fishing can be good if you don’t mind the river traffic. This is a somewhat high flow so be cautious when wading. Nymphing should be the most productive. Try out your PMDs, sows, and caddis nymphs. The slow and deep pools are not the only places holding fish.

Location
Area Small Streams
Overview
Small Stream fishing is pretty much over. Some are low and some are decent, but all of them will reach an unsafe temp for catching fish daily. If you must go fish a small stream go early morning and keep an eye on the water temp.
