Fishing Conditions
Despite our dry winter, our local tail waters are maintaining at typical winter flows. The last week has been a great time to be on the water with warmer temps and sunny skies. The Middle Provo River has been hosting great afternoon mid hatches. The window for a good fishing seems to be between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Nymphing in the morning and dry fly casting in the afternoon. Sunny days are best. We have seen some Buffalo Midge and BWO activity as well in certain spots.
The Lower Provo River has been nymphing well and we’re starting to see some hatches in the slower seams and soft water. Rainbows are actively feeding and seemed to be stacked up in the deeper pools. Smaller sow bugs are working best for us.
The Weber is at an ok flow currently. We wish we could find a way for them to keep a little more water in there during the winter. We haven’t fished on the Weber since the fall, but expect to in the next week or so. I expect small sow bugs, midges and BWO’s. Streamers in low light conditions are currently recommended as well.
- Middle Provo River – Midges #20-#30, BWO #18-#22.
- Lower Provo River – Sow Bugs #16-#20, Midges #20-#30, BWO #18-#22.
- Weber River – Sow Bugs #18-#20, Midges #20-#30, BWO #18-#22.
