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.
Following are the latest reports in descending order of when they were last updated. As a result, you may see multiple reports on the same destination if we haven't updated one of the other destinations recently.

Location
Middle Provo River
Overview
The Middle Provo is flowing at ~145 cfs. This flow is not likely to change much until the spring. The trout have been up on small BWOs and Midge dries lately with some steamer activity. So the fishing is good if you can withstand the cold.

Location
Green River Below Flaming Gorge Dam
Overview
The Green still has a fluctuation of flows during the day. The flow will spike up in the A.M. from just about 1000 cfs to ~2700 cfs and remain at the peak flow for a few hours before dropping again. The fishing will be better when the river is higher so try to get out when the flows are peaking. Streamer fishing should be really good.

Location
Area Small Streams
Overview
The small streams in the area are most likely going to be flowing pretty low. However, if you do find some good water try running some nymph drifts withs sows or midges. Also, this is the time for streamers so break out those wooly buggers.

Location
Weber River
Overview
The Weber is flowing at ~28 cfs. This flow is very low. Nymphing will be the most productive if you have nowhere else to fish. Otherwise try to give the Weber a break until the flows come back up. Take a look at our other fishing reports for inspiration for trying a different fishery.
