Some sporadic boils are showing up, usually in the evening. The inlet has been a popular area, as has the east bay and there has also been some activity around the north marina and dike. Some fish are being pulled up on large top water baits like Lucky Craft Sammys, but the best has action has been on smaller jigs, lipless cranks, spinnerbaits, Roostertails, and flies. Focus on white and chartreuse colors.
• Middle Provo River
Caddis are still the name of the game on top for the Middle. Small Orange Stimulators, Brown Elk Hair Caddis, E-Z Caddis in #12-#16. With some of the larger fall caddis around, try nymphing with a bigger Hare's Ear or Red Fox Squirrel in #12-#16's, and trailing those with smaller baetis nymphs and midge larva like Barr's Emergers, Zebra Midges, and Mercury Midges. Fish are starting to chase streamers pretty well too. Try some olive sculpin patterns and black conehead buggers. Spin fishers should throw some Panther Martin Spinners, and Brown Trout Rapalas.
• Lower Provo River
Good fishing in high water. The flows are up, but it is very fishable. PMD's and caddis. The larger PMD is about done, but there are lot of small, #22's mid day. Try using a #22 vis-a-dun for the adult and Bear's baetis for the nymph. There is a great afternoon caddis hatch. Use a #16 elk hair caddis on top or an olive caddis emerger under. Hoppers can be the surprise fly. They may not be the best, but every once in a while a big fish will be the reward.
• Strawberry Reservoir
The cooler temps have helped. Mostly rainbows being caught with a few cutthroat showing up a little shallower. Try trolling wedding rings and Flatfish. Cast tube jigs and Lucky Craft lures along the shoreline, and still fish with minnows and PowerBait
• Jordanelle
Still lots of small smallmouth being caught in 8'-10' of water on drop shot set ups like green pumpkin grubs and tubes, minnow imitating plastics, and some top water poppers in the early morning hours. PowerBait has been picking up a few trout in the Rock Cliff river arm, try the Salmon Peach.
• Green River
The River is fishing very well with flows fluctuating between about 1800 c.f.s. and 3000 c.f.s. The best fishing has been on top with small and large terrestrial patterns; #12-14 cinnamon ants and beetles have been great, # 8-10 black cricket and cicada type patterns have also been fishing well. Triple Doubles, Sailor Ants, Foam Hoppers, Foam Flying Ants, Black PMX's, and LSS Chernobyls have all been great.
