Location
Green River Below Flaming Gorge Dam
Overview
The fishing on the Green has been good. The river flows have been around 1800 CFS throughout the day. There has been a good midge hatch and some Baetis have been hatching. Look for fish to be sipping on midges in the slow back eddies and scum lines. The water is cold so fish do not move far to take a dry fly this time of the year. Smaller tippet and persistence pays off when fishing dry flies, but it can be quite rewarding and as water temperatures increase the bite will just get better and better. Streamers have been the most productive method of producing fish lately. Sink tips and a slow strip will produce some great fish. Lighter colors on bright days (white, gold, ginger) and darker colors on dark days (olive and black). The hatches are happening best around mid day midges first and then some Baetis are out too. Depending on the day you can also see some caddis and tiny black stones. March is a great time to get out and find solitude on the river before the mid April rush.

Location
Middle Provo River
Overview
Late March is a fantastic time to get out on the Middle Provo. The days are longer, the temperatures are warmer, and the fish are active. The midge hatch is still great and more and more beatis are beginning to hatch. Dry fly fishing can be fantastic depending on the day and the nymph and streamer fishing is quite productive as well. Cloudy days will bring out the beatis and sunny days will bring out the midges. The middle of the day into the afternoon is still the best time to hit the river in the Spring. If you get there early or stay late the streamer fishing has been good before and after the hatch.

Location
Lower Provo River
Overview
Late March throughout April is a fantastic time to get out on the Lower. The flow on the lower Provo is around 200 CFS. The fishing has been decent and the baetis fishing should turn on any day now. Nymphing has been the most productive method, but fish are rising occasionally along the edges and soft seams. The midges are hatching and some baetis are coming off mid day. Sow bugs in small sizes are also working. The tip for the lower is to give the streamers a shot during the low light periods, mornings, evenings, or on overcast days. For those of you nymphing find a deep slower area and work the water until you find the depth and area with fish then stay there. The fish are grouped together this time of the year. Expect light strikes and be prepared!
