Location
Middle Provo River
Overview
The Middle Provo flow steady at ~275 cfs. This is still a fishy flow. Fishing both a nymph rig or dry fly fishing can be productive.
Overall the fishing is good. However, some days are better than others. Dry fly fishing might not be the most productive all day, but when the PMDs hatch in the afternoon it should be better. Also try throwing a hopper. Nymphing will likely be your most productive method. Use midges and caddis nymphs in the mornings, and wait until you see PMDs to switch it up.

Middle Provo River
Overview
The Middle Provo flow steady at ~485 cfs. This is a fishy flow. Fishing a nymph rig or dry fly fishing can be productive.
Fishing is great. Dry fly fishing might not be the most productive all day, but when the fish are hitting up top give it a try. They can be picky so make sure you are using lighter tippet. As always, nymphing will likely be your most productive method.

Location
Lower Provo River
Overview
The Lower Provo is now flowing at ~695 cfs out of the Deer Creek Reservoir. This flow is fishier than it has been so far this summer. Nymphing and streamers will be the most productive, but fish dries if you see them eating up top. PMDs and Caddis are out, so stick to their emerger patterns.

Location
Green River Below Flaming Gorge Dam
Overview
The Green River is fishy. The flows are good at ~2280 cfs. It’s definitely the tail end of the cicada hatch, but they’re still looking for the big bug. Caddis and Yellow Sallies are on the lower river and fish are definitely starting to get interested. On A, the caddis are coming off in the evenings and PMDs are starting to show up in good numbers. Nymphing is “stupid good”.
