April 3rd - 9th

• Upper Provo River
River is still relatively low as the cooler temps have kept runoff from being much of a factor. A few rainbows are in up from the reservoir. Try egg patters, 20 Inchers, Rubberlegs, San Juan Worms, and Pheasant Tails for nymphs. Streamers, and Wooly Buggers in Black and Olive are working as well.


• Middle Provo River
Flows are up but clear. Anticipated runoff has officials trying to make room in Jordanelle, so don't look 
for flows to come down anytime soon. The fish are still there, you just need to use more weight and fish some of the slower runs and back eddies along the edges. Try some larger nymphs as attractors such as stoneflies and San Juan worms, and trail these with some smaller pheasant tails, zebra midges, Barr's emergers, and soft hackles. Black Magnum Super Buggers, olive sculpin patterns, and Foxy Clousers are good streamer patterns to try.


• Lower Provo River
Flows have increased over the last week. Blue Winged Olive nymphs, midge pupa patterns, and sow bugs have been effective nymphs. Hatches of Blue Wings have been consistent and dry fly fishing has still been good in eddies and pocket water along the shorelines.


• Strawberry Reservoir
Slushy conditions but still plenty of ice. Weather depending, anticipate ice-off from early to mid May.


• Jordanelle
Reservoir is still iced from the Hailstone Marina and north. There is open water from the small craft launch south to the dam, and east up the river arm. Some nice browns have been caught recently on some larger Rapalas, as well as trolling dark colored Woolly Buggers and Streamers.
