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.

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

Location
Weber River
Overview
Weber River flows are ~728cfs and it is fishing pretty consistent with sow bugs, midge nymphs, caddis nymphs, and worm patterns. Fish are moving into faster water so change up where you drift. Weather affects the Weber heavily so there’s a chance it will be off color with storms. Streamers might be worth a shot.
Latest Flows
~728 CFS below Rockport Reservoir
Fishing
Overall fishing well with the possibility of a few off-color days
Current Hatches
Midges, Caddis
Best Techniques:
Nymphing fast and deep
Nymphs and streamers

Location
Lower Provo River
Overview
Spring is here and so are the flows. Its currently sitting at 500cfs, and were waiting for the springtime release to ease a full Deer Creek. Water is stained a bit on most days. Were still seeing midges and BWOs. If nymphing is your game, go with scuds, sow bugs, midges, San Juan worms, and BWOs. Streamer fishing has been ok, better on overcast days.
