Location
Middle Provo River
Overview
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. Our first major hatch of midges has begun with the buffalo midges and blue wings are being spotted as well. 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.

Weber River
Overview
Water levels on the Weber are decent right now. For those of you who want more solitude and less busy fishing conditions the Weber is right for that now. Fishing will be good, approach the deeper runs with caution try not to spook the fish before getting your line wet. Sow bugs, some small midges, and beatis are your best bet. try lightly weighted streamer early and late or during the overcast days.

Location
Middle Provo River
Overview
Most of our angling of late has been on the Middle Provo. Fishing has been good but varied depending on conditions and location. Sunny days have been productive on nymphs, midges and sow bugs in very small sizes, as the guides say start at size 20 and work even smaller from there. Cloudy days with calm conditions have been the best for dry fly fishing, once again keep the flies small size 22 and 24, if you can see them fish even smaller, size 28 Griffiths gnat will get them well, but you need fighter pilot vision to see them. Streamers have been catching some but on a very limited basis, best on the overcast days or other low light conditions. Nice days on the weekends have produced full parking lots, sorry, but weekdays have been less crowded. Stormy days have been the least busy. Most of the anglers are working the water closer to the Jordanelle Dam, the further downstream you travel the less anglers you should see. The hot tip for the Middle has been fishing the lower part of the river, less anglers and less fishing pressure and more productive nymph fishing, some rainbows also. Try a small purple zebra midge 22 or 24 and work the water carefully making sure you cover all the likely spots and depths. Once again fish are in groups and where you find one you should find some more also. Not too long to wait now and we should see some larger midges and a big improvement in the dry fly action. When it happens we will update this report.

Location
Lower Provo River
Overview
The flow on the lower Provo is around 100 CFS. The fishing has been good Nymphing has been the most productive method. The midges are hatching and some Baetis, sow bugs in small sizes are working also. The river is not as busy as it was around the New Year, the cold weather is keeping some anglers at the vise and not on the water. The tip for the lower is to give the streamers a shot during the low light periods, mornings, evenings, or on overcast days. Overcast days with less wind we are also seeing some rising fish working on midges and on some Baetis. 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, fish are grouped together and not moving much to eat the small nymphs. Expect light strikes and be prepared!
