The lower Provo is at a mid level, not real high but not low. It has flowed around 400 cfs which is a pretty good fishable level. PMDs are showing in
good numbers, but the fish are feeding primarily on the nymphs. As the numbers increase the fish should key on the surface. Droppers and
shallow nymphs have continued to produce well and should through the summer. Over the next few weeks we will start to see more caddis
and little yellow stoneflies and the surface activity should pick up. Best patterns will imitate sow bugs, small stoneflies, caddis, small midges and
mayflys. San Juan worms and stonefly nymphs have also produced well as attractor nymphs. Egg patterns are also a good bet with the
Rainbow/Cutthroat spawn. Focus on the riffles and deeper slower areas with the nymphs and look to the small side eddies, slow areas and
shallows for risers. Streamers have fished well especially during low light, and with the higher water they are worth a shot.
The middle section of the Provo is at a good fishable level, but is pretty low for this time of year. It has flowed around 300 cfs. The river construction has
subsided until July 16 when the section between river road and hwy 113 will close for the season. The fishing has been awesome here lately
with golden stones in good numbers, Green Drakes hatching good at times, yellow sallies starting to show, and caddis and PMDs hatching.
During the day, the best success has been with stone imitations although many fish are being taken on Drakes. In the evenings caddis are
starting to produce well, and at times fish are really keying on the PMDs. With larger insects it can be very productive to just cover good water
whether you see the bugs or not, you also don't need rising fish. Look for risers in the shallower riffles, slow areas, and pockets. Dry/dropper
with both dry and dropper imitating PMDs, stoneflies, drakes and caddis. Nymphing should still be a good bet, especially with all of the hatching
insects. Stoneflies, mayfly imitations and midges are the best bet for patterns on this section. Sow bugs will also produce but more so on the
lower end of the valley where more of the small spring creek have entered the river. Egg patterns are producing and are a good bet with the
above mentioned spawn. Streamers are fishing sporadically well (typical for streamers), with some great days and some dead (again low light).
Early morning and late evening has been good.
The Weber below Rockport is flowing at mid levels and has fished well. It has been flowing at around 100 cfs. This river is used to fill Echo
Reservoir for irrigation so on a lower water year such as this it could fluctuate quite a bit. This section has fished well over the last few weeks,
with some good caddis action. Golden stones are also present and have fished well. PMDs should also provide good action. This section can
be a good option to avoid Provo river crowds. Rainbow and Cutthroat eggs are still in the beds. Nymphing has been the best consistent
producer. Try stoneflies, caddis, sow bugs and small midge and mayfly imitations. Midges may still be a factor in the a.m. and p.m. Look for
risers in the small back eddies and in other calm water areas. "Dry dropper" rigs are a good bet with flies imitating stoneflies, caddis, mayfly
nymphs and midges. Streamers will produce at times, and can bring some large resident brown trout.
The Weber above Rockport reservoir has come down and is fishing fairly well with caddis, stoneflies and PMDs starting to show up. Like the
upper Provo, much of this section is closed to public access by private landowners. Again, in Utah you can own the river bottom, so if
you are in the river you cannot walk through properly posted private property.
The Weber below Echo reservoir had been dry for at least five months, so there is no reason to fish this stretch. They have
started to put water in here, but I don't know how well they survived with only tributary water to sustain them through the winter. If you do fish
down here try below some of these tributaries downstream from the dam.

Water is down, rivers are clear. Provo, Weber, Strawberry are all fishing great. Anticipating the Green Drake to make an appearance very soon. |
