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
Weber River
Overview
Weber River flows went way up since our last report, but are on the way back down currently at ~728cfs. It is tough fishing. If you nymph you will need a lot of weight. Streamers might be worth a shot. They usually produce more fish in heavier flows.
Latest Flows

Location
Green River Below Flaming Gorge Dam
Overview
The Green River is projected to come down and the cicadas have the potential to go off. This means epic dry fly activity with cicada patterns. The flow currently is at ~9150 cfs, but the schedule (picture posted above) shows the schedule for future flows. June 24th should be the day to get out and fish dries.

Location
Green River Below Flaming Gorge Dam
Overview
The Yampa River is projected to peak, so the Green River Flows will be reduced soon so not to flood the Jensen Utah Area. This means once the Yampa is back down, the Green will likely go back up. Dry fly fishing is practically non-existent, but try fishing a cicada pattern if you’re determined to fish up top. Nymphing is your best bet. Streamers are always a great option for higher flows. Fingers crossed we can get to a more fishy flow.

Location
Lower Provo River
Overview
Spring runoff has made it down to the Lower Provo as well, with a very high and swift flow of ~1135 cfs coming out of Deer Creek Reservoir. If you were to try and fish you should stick to streamers or deep heavy nymph rigs. Use extreme caution near the river.

Location
Middle Provo River
Overview
Runoff is here. The Middle Provo is at ~950 cfs so be very cautious. This flow is very high and the water is swift.
Dry fly fishing on the Middle is sparse at this flow. Nymphing has been decent. Add more weight to your rig to drop those flies down. Slower water will be your friend. Try fishing the flies from your “junk food collection” AKA Sow Bugs, San Juan Worms, Wigglies, Squirmies, Scuds, and some midges or caddis nymphs.
Small and Medium sized streamers have been working on cloudy days or when the water is slightly off color.

Dam: ~950 cfs
