Location
Middle Provo River
Overview
The middle provo has held steady at 325cfs for about a month now. Trout are moving around and in the riffles as well as the classic holes. Caddis have been sporadic and only seen in a few places. But they are starting to eat caddis nymphs regularly throughout the river. A few sporadic pmd sightings and no reports of Drakes yet. Nymphing is still the name of the game with sporadic dry fly opportunities.

Green River Below Flaming Gorge Dam
Overview
The Green is flowing around 860 cfs out of the Flaming Gorge Dam. No news yet on when the river will be bumped. The water temp has changed about 5 degrees and the fish seem to be more active. The baetis are still significant. The nymphing is consistently good during the baetis hatch. Small cicadas and flying ants have started to show up so try the bigger dries in your box. Dry flies, emergers, and nymphs have all been productive. Streamer fishing can still be productive below Red Creek.

Location
Middle Provo River
Overview
The Middle Provo has been bumped since our last report, but this is a good thing. At ~325 cfs the river has more spots to fish than earlier this spring. The trout have started moving around so consider changing up your routine. The caddis are around, but the baetis nymphs are still working. Evening caddis hatches will start to get better. A few stoneflies have been sighted.

Location
Lower Provo River
Overview
The Lower Provo is flowing at ~484 cfs right now. This is somewhat high so be cautious when wading. Nymphing should be the most productive. Try out your baetis, sows, and caddis nymphs. The slow and deep pools are not the only place holding fish, so try out some of the less popular water if an angler is in your “go-to” spot.
