Provo River Fishing Report

Releases from Jordanelle are at 201 CFS. At Charleston the river is flowing at 236 CFS. Below Deer Creek the flows are at 360 CFS. River temperatures are around 50 F. The kids are back in school and he tubing traffic on the Lower Provo has subsided so below Deer Creek is becoming a very fishable option. With the higher flows on the Lower Provo, fish are concentrated in the slower seams and around structure. The flows on the Middle Provo are lower than what they have been so look for fish in deeper runs and in faster moving pocket water.

As with all of our other streams and rivers, look for midge activity earlier in the day and as the day progresses expect to see some Baetis activity on the cloudy days and October caddis activity on the sunny days. Ants and terrestrials are around so move around and fish these flies in the faster pocket water. With the cooler temperatures the streamer fishing is also starting to pick up.

Weber River Fishing Report

Water releases from Rockport Reservoir are at 175 CFS. By Coalville the flows are around 88 CFS. Below Echo the Weber is flowing at 137 CFS. The river is flowing at 79 CFS once it gets to Ogden. Throughout the I 80 corridor and I 84 canyon stretch to Mountain Green, the Weber is quite fishable right now.

While on the river expect to see small midges (20-24) early in the morning and some Baetis (20-22) , and caddis (16-18) activity as the day progresses. You will also see ants, beetles, and hoppers. Fish will be concentrated in the deeper runs as well as in the faster moving pocket water. The faster water is a great option for terrestrial fishing or fishing a dry dropper. The streamer fishing will also continue to pick up as we get deeper into Fall.

Utah Small Stream Fishing Report

The season for the high country is coming to a close so if you are trying to enjoy a day a a mountain lake or stream now is the time to get there. Even though we have seen our first snow in the high country, the Uintas, Boulder Mountains, and even the high country along the Wasatch Front should be good to fish for at least another month. The colder weather causes fish in lakes to cruise the shore lines to look for food, which makes bank fishing a great option with small streamers or dry flies. It is still terrestrial season in the high country as well, so if you are fishing a stream try ants, hoppers, crickets, and beetles.
