Releases from Jordanelle are at 145 CFS. At Charleston the river is flowing at 167 CFS. Below Deer Creek the flows are at 188 CFS. River temperatures are around 45 degrees Fahrenheit. Flows on the river are lower than what they have been so start looking for fish in the deeper pockets, pools, and riffles.
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 a good amount of Baetis activity and a few October caddis. The dry fly fishing has been pretty good between 12 and 3. Some ants and terrestrials are still around so if you want to fish a hopper, move around and fish these flies in the faster pocket water. With the cooler temperatures the streamer fishing should be starting to pick up.
When fishing the Provo, have small sow bugs (18-20), bling midge (22), cardinal midge (22-24), zebra midge (18-22), buckskin caddis (18), prince nymph (18), pheasant tail (18-22), Barr’s BWO emerger (20-22). For dries, have a few Winger BWO (20-22), Mother Shucker (24), some assorted terrestrials, and a few large caddis.
Brown trout are beginning to spawn. Please be mindful of spawning fish.
