Lower Provo River
Overview
Fall is here and the flows have dropped. The fishing has improved over the fall. The water has been murkey at times with Deer Creek being low and the wind turning the lake over. Dry fly fishing has been sporadic but good. Were seeing midges, BWOs and caddis. If your nymphing, stick to scuds, sow bugs, midges, San Juan worms, or BWOs. With fall here the streamer fishing has been good, especially on overcast days. Please be mindful of the redds and spawning fish.

Location
Middle Provo River
Overview
Fall has been good on the Provo this year. Its dropped down to winter flows and that has made the river very accessible.
The dry fly fishing on the Middle has been consistent with midges and BWOs coming off late in the mornings and staying through the afternoon. There has been some caddis and psuedos mixed in as well.
Nymph fishing remains productive on the Provo. In the mornings try sow bugs and midges. As the day progresses start switching to BWOs and midge emergers
Streamers have also been working well.
Please be on the look out for spawning fish and redds.

Location
Weber River
Overview
Fishing on the Weber has been a little rough this fall. Water temps were warm and then the river dropped to 22cfs. With cooler temps things should have improved slightly, but conditions will still be pretty tough. Be on the lookout for spawning fish, and please don’t step on redds.

Location
Area Small Streams
Overview
Fall is here. Small streams can be hit or miss this time of year. Fishing is dependent on flows (or lack there of) and temps. Be on the lookout for spawning Brown and Brook trout and try to avoid their redds. Unfortunately, due to the Dollar Ridge Fire the Strawberry Pinnacles access road is closed and we expect there to be a pretty substantial fish kill.
Latest Flows
Most small streams are at their winter flows for the year (17cfs seems to be a common theme). For up to date stream flows you can check out: https://waterdata.usgs.gov/ut/nwis/current/?type=flow
