Overview
Winter is on and the crowd is long gone. The flows change during the day, with water high in the morning and lower midday. Dry fly fishing can be slow, but the sporadic midge and BWO (on overcast days) hatch still happen. Nymphing is going to be productive on the river with scuds, midges, and worms. It is prime time for streamer fishing.

Middle Provo River
Overview
The Winter months have been good on the Provo so far this year. Winter flows are steady and so the river is still very accessible.
Dry fly fishing on the Middle has been consistent with good midge hatches from Noon to about 3pm.
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 emergers and look for a possible midge hatch.
Small and Medium sized streamers have been working well.
