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 very high right now, be careful boating or wading the Green. The flows should remain this way for 1 more week. Fishing the Green with heavy nymph rigs or streamers will produce some fish. When the river drops below about 3500 CFS. the fishing should go crazy. Cicada’s are there and the fish will start to key in on the Cicada’s and other bugs on the surface at that water level. Pay close attention to the water temperature it is cold now and as the temperature climbs the fish activity will increase also. The best fishing of the summer is going to happen our best guess is the middle of June will be excellent.

Location
Middle Provo River
Overview
The Middle Provo has been flowing very high for some time now. Be careful when wading the river. The high flows will most likely continue for a least a week or maybe a couple more weeks. 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 BWO nymphs and Midges. Try to find slower water areas with some depth to locate where the fish are holding. When the water come down the fishing should be very good.
Latest Flows
Dam: ~1705 cfs.
Charleston: ~1886 cfs.

Middle Provo River
Overview
The Middle Provo has risen and is flowing at ~650 cfs out of the Jordanelle Dam. The midges are still being seen in the mornings, and sometimes all day. Midge emergers have been very productive. Baetis are still hanging around, especially on the cloudy days. The Mother’s Day caddis are out. Dry fly and emergers are key during the morning and the evening caddis hatches.

Location
Green River Below Flaming Gorge Dam
Overview
The Green river below Flaming Gorge Dam has just been dropped to about 1000 cfs. This a big reduction in the flow, but the fish have responded well and the fishing is really good. Nymphing should be the most productive, however if you see heads up try the dry. The fishing is dependent on the hatch, so midges and baetis are the way to go.

Location
Area Small Streams
Overview
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.
