Overview
Utah’s many small streams are beginning to show signs of spring right now. Midges and blue wings are the main hatch right now, but you can also see some caddis activity and some tiny black stones. Fish are starting to become 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. A few fisherman are known to drive into fishing holes and get stuck on the way out this time of the year due to the ground thawing throughout the day. Also 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.

Overview
Most of the local small streams are fishing well and are in mid-summer form. We’re seeing good fishing around the state with water levels down and terrestrial bugs starting to show up. This window for terrestrial fishing wont last too long so make sure to get out there soon and fish your favorite secret spots. The freestone streams are in prime conditions right now with water levels down and runoff over for the most part. The smaller tail waters are also at normal flows and should continue to fish well into the fall with the amount of water in the reservoirs. Most of the early summer hatches are over on the smaller streams so fish are really starting to focus their attention on the big bugs. This is a lot of folks favorite time of year to fish the smaller streams in the area with big foam dry flies. Get out there and do some exploring!

Overview
The time we have all been waiting for is finally on our doorstep! Our local small streams have started to shape up as the runoff has begun to subside. The freestones have really come down in flow and are running cool, clear and ready to fish. With this seasons mega runoff expect your favorite runs to have changed considerably-It’s a great time to get out and explore the rivers to find a few new “favorite runs.” Some of the smaller tail waters are still running a tad higher than normal, but are fishing well enough to make the trip out worth it. Expect to see some really nice hatches over the next few weeks. Make sure you have plenty of Green Drakes, Golden Stones, and Yellow Sally’s, but make sure you don’t rule out PMD’s and Caddis-especially later in the day. It is also not a bad idea to throw terrestrials like beetles, ants and crickets between the hatches.
