September 1st - 7th

September is already here, nights are cooling down, and fishing is great! Get out and enjoy the long Labor Day weekend. 

Rockport Reservoir
Shore fishing has been good with some nice rainbows in the 13"-17" range being caught on PowerBait. Try the east side of the reservoir particularly. Trolling has been very good with pop gear and small spoons and Flatfish.  Float tubers have been doing great drifting with Crysal Killer flies.


Middle Provo River
Fishing has been good on caddis, both dry and subsurface.  Fish brown Elk Hair Caddis, E/C Caddis, and Goddard's on top, #14-16's.  Subsurface, run Graphic Caddis and Pulsating Caddis Pupa.  PMD nymphs have been a great dropper below dry caddis or fished deep beneath an indicator.  Try #18-20 JuJu PMD nymphs, Psycho PMD's, and Split Case patterns. Small Hoppers are worth throwing mid-day.

Lower Provo River
Dry fly fishing on the lower has been great with caddis!  Fish the pockets along the edges with E-Z Caddis and Spent Partridge Caddis in #14-16's.  PMD nymph's and sow bugs have fished well underneath. 


Strawberry Reservoir
Good fishing for rainbows in the 13" - 17" range, and a few cutthroat.  Best fishing seems to be down around Indian Creek and Renegade areas as well as around the mouth of the Narrows.  Trolling with Flatfish from 15- 25' down has been productive, with the cutthroats being found at the deeper end of that range. Good reports of fishing with black woolly buggers and bunny leeches in close to shore for fly anglers in float tubes and pontoons.  Fishing should get better and better throughout September.


Jordanelle
Fishing for smallmouth has been great!  They've been finding most of them on the north end amongst shallow weedbeds.  The fish are concentrating on small perch minnows, so use small perch colored plastics like Robo Minnows, small swim baits, Reaction Innovation Little Dipper, and tubes and curly tails.


Uinta Lakes
The roadside lakes have all been stocked to get them ready for the Labor Day weekend. To avoid the crowds, walk in to some of the inner lakes. Most people will stay close to their cars. If you like to use bait try  power bait or worms. Lure fishing is good with Jakes Spin-a-lures for deep lakes or spinners for shallow lakes or fishing near the edge. Flies work great with either spinning rod and bubble or fly rod. Try using a Royal flush, small crystal killer or prince nymph wet or an ant or parachute adams dry.


Green River
Crowds are thinning and the terrestrial fishing is hot!  Hoppers were late to get going but have come on strong as of late.  Good reports on smaller hoppers, ants, and crickets on "A" section. Larger hoppers, Chernobyl Ants, and Fat Alberts have been picking up some good fish on "B" and "C" sections.  Also try some Foam Flying Ants, Amber Triple Doubles, and Cinnamon Sailor Ants.  Drop some smaller Pheasant Tails, Brown and Black Zebra Midges, small Epoxy Stone Nymphs for trailers behind the dries.
