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.

Location
Weber River
Overview
Water levels on the Weber between Rockport and Echo are great for fishing right now. The Mother’s Day Caddis are in full swing and the evening caddis dry fly fishing can be fantastic. For those of you who want more solitude the Weber is a great alternative. Sow bugs, small midges, beatis, and some cased caddis are your best nymphs this time of year. Try a lightly weighted streamer early or during the overcast days.

Location
Lower Provo River
Overview
The flow on the Lower Provo is around 529 CFS. This makes wade fishing a little bit more difficult. The baetis hatch is winding down, but midges are still active throughout the day. With the higher flows, nymphing is the most productive way to fish the Lower Provo right now. Midges are hatching in the morning and evenings and some baetis are still coming off mid day. Sow bugs in smaller sizes are also working.

Location
Middle Provo River
Overview
Fishing continues to be good on the Middle Provo right now. The days are longer, the temperatures are warmer, and the fish are active. The midge hatch continues early in the morning or late in the day, look for blue wings on the overcast days and caddis activity on the sunny ones.. Dry fly fishing can be fantastic and the nymph and streamer fishing is quite productive as well. The middle of the day into the afternoon is still the best time to hit the river in the Spring. Flows are a little bit higher than they were a few weeks ago so be mindful of where you are crossing the river. If you get there early or stay late the streamer fishing has been good before and after the hatch.

Overview
Utah’s small stream fishing is great right now. Fish are much more active with the warmer temperatures. Depending on where you go, you can find some cicadas, stone flies, golden stones, midges, caddis, and PMDs. Drakes are just around the corner. Now is a great time to get out and explore some off the beaten path haunts.

Area Small Streams
Overview
Utah’s small stream fishing can be great right now. Midges and blue wings are the main hatch, but you can see caddis activity and also tiny black stones. Fish are much more active with the warmer temperatures. Now is a great time to get out and explore some off the beaten path haunts. We haven’t had much snow this year, but be wary of snow drifts and mud when you are driving around. If you are on a freestone stream, know that as runoff occurs throughout the day it will discolor the water and turn the fishing off with the murky conditions.
