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
Green River Below Flaming Gorge Dam
Overview
The Green is flowing around 820 cfs out of the Flaming Gorge Dam. The water is at 38 degrees F. Streamer fishing can still be productive. There have been some sightings of BWOs, but not many fish eating up top outside of the back eddies. Try fishing some medium and shallow nymph rigs in the slower runs. Midges are the hatch to focus on for now.

Overview
The bigger (buffalo) Midge hatch is here. The hatch has been starting as early as 11am on warmer days. Fish the size 22 emergers and dries in your box. “Buffalo Midges” are the nickname for our spring-time midges which tend to be large. Lighter tippet is recommended so stick to your 6X and 7X.

Location
Lower Provo River
Overview
The Lower Provo is flowing at ~160 cfs right now. Not much change. Nymphing will still be the most productive. Try nymphing bigger flies like san juan worms and sow bugs. Targeting the mid-day midge hatch can also be productive. Like the middle, the dry fly fishing can be technical with these small bugs, so size down your tippet to 6X or 7X and lengthen that leader.

Location
Area Small Streams
Overview
Still no change here. The area small streams are at extremely low water levels. Right now is not really the time to be fishing the small streams. Stick to the tailwaters in the area like the Provo or Green. The small streams will be better in the spring and early summer.
