Summer is in full swing on the Provo. The flows have come down and the hatches are coming off. Releases from Jordanelle are at 488 CFS. At Charleston the river is flowing at 395 CFS. Below Deer Creek the flows are at 519 CFS. River temperatures are around 50 F. There are a lot of tubers on the Lower Provo so either fish there early in the morning or later in the day. Even though the flows are a lot lower than they were, still be mindful while wading. The current is swift and the rocks are slick.

Summertime hatches are in full swing. Green Drakes are still around on the Middle Provo. You will also see PMD’s, Caddis, and midges. Look for fish sipping on midges and caddis early in the morning and later in the day. During the middle day you will see Green Drakes and PMD’s.

For dry flies I like a peacock caddis in a size 16, film critic PMD in a size 18, Green Drake in a size 12, and a mother shucker in a size 22. For nymphs I’ll generally fish a cased caddis or a prince nymph in a size 16, a Mitchell’s split case PMD in a size 18, a tung teaser Green Drake nymph in a size 12, a bling midge in a size 22, or a sow bug in a size 18.

Streamer fishing is still effective early in the mornings or later in the evenings.
