Location
Lower Provo River
Overview
The Lower Provo is flowing a little high and cold for this time of the year. Therefore, the hatch is behind schedule. Some people are having success with midge dry flies, but it has been mainly nymphing using sow bugs, midges, and some beatis patterns. The midge hatch has been starting earlier in the morning and there has been some blue wing activity in the middle of the day.

Location
Middle Provo River
Overview
The Middle Provo is probably the most consistent river in terms of fishing right now. Releases from Jordanelle have been at 150 CFS for all of the winter. There has been a good midge hatch and some blue wings are beginning to show up on the river. Look for fish to post up in the moving water once the blue wings start hatching and look for fish in the slower water while the midge are hatching.

Location
Green River Below Flaming Gorge Dam
Overview
Although the water is higher than normal for this time of the year, the flows are stable and the fish are used to it. You just need to look to softer flows to find the feeding fish. Deep nymphing, the tried and true day in and day out producer is definitely the top producing method. Streamer fishing the deeper, slower water has been quite productive as well. Dry fly fishing during the hatch has been good in the back eddies, slower edges and seams.
