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 ~145 cfs. We are getting close to the standard winter season flow. The brown trout are currently getting ready for their spawn, so be cautious about where you wade, cross, and fish the river to avoid destroying spawning redds.
The fishing is good if you can withstand the cold weather. Dry fly fishing might not be the most productive, but occasionally there will be a midge hatch and some BWOs. Nymphing, as always, will likely be your most productive method.

Location
Area Small Streams
Overview
The few small streams that are freestone might be a bit warm to fish right now. The tailwater streams will have slightly better fishing temps. If you do go out and get on some fish, take the necessary precautions and make sure you are not hurting fish. Terrestrials and droppers will likely be your most productive method.

Location
Lower Provo River
Overview
The Lower Provo is flowing at ~570 cfs out of the Deer Creek Reservoir. This flow is fishy, but it is a bit higher than usual for this time of year. Nymphing will be the most productive, but fish dries if you see them eating up top. Still seeing some PMDs and Caddis. Sow bugs are always a good choice for the lower.
