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 of the day, the dry fly fishing can be okay between 9 and 3. High pressure days or storm days have produced the best fishing. Days with dropping barometric pressure have produced the most difficult fishing conditions. The nymphing remains to be consistently inconsistent as well. If the midge hatch goes off the fish will be active. February is here, but the weather is still relatively cold. Once the temperature increases a bit the fishing should be start to pick up. If there is no hatch the streamer fishing could be decent.

When fishing the Provo, have small sow bugs (18-20), bling midge (22-26), cardinal midge (22-26), 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).
