Current Report
The fishing has been very
good on the Provo River.
Midges are hatching in full
force everyday on both the
middle and lower provo
rivers. Best time to be out
is 11:00 to 3:00, when temps
are at their warmest. There
has also been good hatch
activity from 4:30 until
dark. The midges come back to
the river to lay eggs and
there is virtually nobody on
the river. Great time to fish
dries in total solitude.
Because of the amount of
pressure it has been seeing
as of late, the fish on the
middle (below Jordanelle) are
extremely selective right
now. Anglers having the best
success are fishing #22-24
single midge patterns such as
Silvey's midge adult,
Morgan's midge, trailing
shuck midge, and Fowlers Biot
midge. Remember to use long
leaders 10-12 feet and plenty
of 6X or even 7X tippet. As
the month progresses, look
for cluster patterns in sizes
#16-20 to start taking lots
of fish such as Griffiths
Gnat, two bead midge, Hi Vis
Cluster, and Parachute Adams.
The lower Provo has had less
pressure than the middle, but
the hatch fishing has not
been as intense. The fish you
find rising should be much
easier to fool, though.
Nymphing has also been
productive on the lower with
standard midges such as U.V.
midge, Zebra midge, GT
Emerger, and disco midges.
Sow bugs and San Juan worms
have been good as well and
have accopunted for some
large Rainbows as of late.
