Lower Provo River
Overview
The Lower Section of the Provo River below Deer Creek Reservoir is currently at 410 CFS. With Deer Creek not frozen over sometimes the river can be a bit off color with the wind blowing the lake over. There has been one of the better BWO hatches in recent memory. Dry fly fishing has been best in the afternoon, but its been nymphing well all day. Streamers have still been doing well regardless of cloud cover.
