Our Utah fly fishing reports offer a brief overview of current conditions on our waters. You'll find fishing reports for the main Utah rivers and streams that we guide on and fish regularly. Reports for the Lower Provo, Middle Provo, Weber River, Green River and Small Streams are included.
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. If you don’t see what you are looking for, please give us a call at the shop or contact us here. We are always happy to update you with current conditions on many other Utah waters and fisheries in surrounding states as well.

Location
Middle Provo River
Overview
The Middle Provo is flowing at about 640 cfs. Be careful when wading the river. Nymph rigs with a large amount of weight will be the standard for getting flies down to some fish. Worms, Crane fly larvae, sow bugs, will be good choices in addition to the PMD nymphs and Midges. Try to find slower water areas with some depth to locate where the fish are holding. PMDs will come off around Noon and last a couple of hours. Caddis activity is primarily in the morning and evening.

Location
Area Small Streams
Overview
Some of the small streams are still at normal flow “Current Creek for instance” and some are high and in full runoff. So each location may have very different conditions, best to call 435-658-1166 and find out our latest info if you are headed to any of these areas. As the snow melts and the small streams start to rise in flow, the water has the potential to be off color or washed out. This is normal for small streams during the runoff season, but that doesn’t mean the fishing is bad necessarily. Try nymphing things like worms, leeches, and sow bugs if you find yourself fishing high water on a small stream.

Location
Lower Provo River
Overview
The Lower Provo is flowing around 800 CFS. now please be careful wading and fishing the Lower. The river came up again about 3 or 4 days ago and our guides have had good fishing despite the higher water. Various “Junk Food” flies and some Baetis and Midges are getting them good. Lots of boats and tubes on the river now. The big “Bows” have been active and our anglers have found some real good ones. Try heavy nymph rigs if you are trying to get them look for slower water areas with some depth. Sow bugs as always are a good choice too.
