Location
Green River Below Flaming Gorge Dam
Overview
Spring is continuing to be good for the Green and river traffic is picking up. Flows have picked up to 2000cfs in the morning and a 2500 bump in the evening. Dry fly fishing has picked up on overcast days with large numbers of bwos on lower A, upper B. There is also still midge fishing to be had as well. Nymphing is going to be productive on the river with scuds, midges, bwos, and worms. There is still some good streamer fishing to be had as well, Red Creek has been varying the amount of sediment dumped into the river so the lower river has been sporadic in clarity and how it fishes.

Weber River
Overview
Spring has been so so for the Weber. Flows were at a fairly constant 200cfs but as of this morning were back down to 83cfs for the last 2 days and slightly off color. With the Weber river basin sitting at a fat snow pack of around 140% , big water is going to come this spring. Look for slow deep water and chuck sows and worms in there. Streamer fishing may also be an option with the off color water. There was sporadic bwos and midges at the higher water level. No reports of mothers day caddis yet.

Location
Middle Provo River
Overview
Spring has continued to be good on the middle provo. Flows have started to bump up and are currently at 325cfs from the dam. Fishing on the provo has been good, were just all holding our breath to see when the big flows happen for runoff.
Dry fly fishing on the Middle has been consistent (on days they havent bumped the flows) with the midges still barely hanging on early in the morning, and bwos on cloudy days. On bright sunny days there’s been sporadic skwala sightings
Nymph fishing remains productive in the Provo’s deeper holes. In the mornings try sow bugs and various midge patterns. As the day progresses start switching to midge and or bwo emergers and look for a possible hatch especially in riffled waters.
Small and Medium sized streamers have been working on days the water has been bumped and slightly off color.
