Provo River Fishing Report

Releases from Jordanelle are at 144 CFS. At Charleston the river is flowing at 166 CFS. Below Deer Creek the flows are at 145 CFS. River temperatures are around 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Winter conditions have settled in so begin to start looking for fish in the deeper pockets, pools, and riffles. Snowpack in the Provo River drainage is currently sitting at 117 percent of average.

Look for midge activity during the middle of the day. Depending on the conditions, the dry fly fishing can be okay between 12 and 3. The nymphing has been consistently inconsistent as well. If the midge hatch goes off the fish will be active. We are almost through the lull of January though so the fishing should be starting to pick up again. If there is no hatch the streamer fishing could be decent.

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), and pheasant tail (18-22). For dries, have a few small midges like the Mother Shucker (20-24).
