• Lower Provo
The flows have come down to a safe level, it is still a little bit high but wadeable. Try using Sow Bugs, Caddis Nymphs, Stonefly Nymphs, and San Juan Worms. You might also find success throwing some streamers at this time.
• Weber River
The Weber has been fishing pretty similar to the Provo. Try the same nymphs as you would on the Middle or Lower, such as; San Juan Worms, Tailwater Sow Bugs, Scuds, Stonefly Nymphs, and Caddis Nymphs. Dry fly fishing has been decent. An Elk Hair or E/C Caddis in an olive or brown #16 should do the trick.
• Strawberry Reservoir
The Cutthroat have moved out to deeper water. There are still some Rainbows around the shallows, for those who are fishing from the shore. The Soldier Creek side has been fishing a little better than the Strawberry side in deep water 50-60 ft. Powerbait, Marabou Jigs, Tube Jigs, and Lucky Craft Lures have all been working well. Purple streamers or leeches are also a good option.
• Green River
On the A Section, try using black or red Zebra Midges, Juju's, CDC Blue Wing Olive Emergers underneath. There have been sightings of Cicadas, so having a few in the box is a good idea as they will only increase in the next few weeks.
• Scofield Reservoir
Fishing well, mostly smaller fish. Dark colored flies and lures continue to be the most productive. The fish are starting to move out from the shores a bit, so fishing from a boat would help to target some of these deeper fish. Look for fish around steep drop-offs.
• Deer Creek
Fishing well. The best action has been west of the island. Jakes Spin-A-Lures or Powerbait are good options from the shore. We have also heard good reports from people trolling Flatfish or Pop Gear and a worm.
• Pelican
Bass and Bluegill are in the shallows, near the reeds. Look for pockets in the reeds and cast a chartreuse or purple wooley bugger in a size 10, if you want to throw topwater try very small poppers in white or black. If you want to throw gear try jigs, Senkos, or for topwater, poppers or small frogs.
• Middle Provo
The flow on the Middle has been staying pretty steady around 130 cfs. Nymph fishing has been good. San Juan Worms, Stonefly Nymphs, Baetis, and Caddis Nymphs are good options for this time of year. There are still traces of Blue Winged Olives around. It is possible to see a few fish rising to blue wings in the mid to late afternoon.

There are still traces of Blue Winged Olives around. It is possible to see a few fish rising to blue wings in the mid to late afternoon.
• Lower Provo
The flows are still very high, running around 800 cfs. Use caution when wading. Look for fish in back-eddies and along the edges in slower water. Nymphing is going to be the most productive with the high water. Try using Sow Bugs, Caddis Nymphs, Stonefly Nymphs, and San Juan Worms. You might also find success throwing some streamers at this time.

May 9, 2013 Utah Fishing Report
• Strawberry Reservoir
THE ICE IS OFF!! Now is the time to go up and get some fishing in. Try thowing dark colored leeches and buggers for flies. If you want to throw gear, tie on a Lucky Craft Pointer 78 in a rainbow trout color, ghosty minnow, or shell white color. Some other things working well are powerbait, tube jigs and jakes lures.
• Middle Provo
The blue winged olives are still coming off but a little bit later in the day, watch for the hatch to come off more towards the late afternoon and into the evening. Keep an eye out for the Mothers Day caddis that should be coming off now, they are currently down more towards Deer Creek but will be working their way up the river ever day.
• Lower Provo
We haven't heard much from the Lower this week but the water is way up. The river is currently running around 500 cfs, be very careful wading or crossing. The fish should be pushed up around the edges in the slower currents, try streamers, caddis nymphs, scuds, and san juan worms. You probably won't see much dry fly action with water levels as high as they are.
• Weber River
The Mothers Day hatch is here. Tie on a Pulsating caddis, or a Wired caddis, in olive color size 14. Also tie on a stonefly nymphm, golden stone color in a size 10 or 12. If you want to throw dries put on a tan or brown Elk Hair caddis in a size 14 or 16.
• Utah Lake
The walleye spawn is coming to an end for the season but that also means that the largemouth bass spawn is getting ready to begin. Use jigs, white or chartreuse spinner baits, and especially Senko's in the green pumpkin or jb special colors.
• Starvation
We are still getting good reports on the rainbow trout fishing. Powerbait has been effective in the rainbow color garlic scent or the salmon peach scent and color. If you don't want to use bait tie on a Lucky Craft lure in a Ghost Minnow color, or an olive or black tube jig. For the fly fishers tie on a dark colored leech or bugger.

May 2nd, 2013
• Lake Powell
The Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass are spawning and now is the time to fish for them. Cast to spawning beds. Try spinner and chatter baits, lippless crankbaits, and jerk baits in white and shad tones. Colors with chartreuse highlights in stained water work well. skirted jigs with trailers, hula grubs, and a variety of plastics in a range of colors. Translucent colors are often better in clear water. Try a brighter colored jig or bait that you can see well on the bottom to help target bedded fish. Look for Crappie on the outer edges of submerged brush or flooded trees, or suspended adjacent to flat spawning areas. Stripers and Walleye should be on main lake points and humps, trolling shad colored crank and swimbaits should produce fish.
• Strawberry Reservoir
The ice is coming off and going fast. Most edges are open and fishable from the shore. Fishing from the shore or from a pontoon boat has been good. Look for water with a little more depth to it and get as close to the ice edge as possible. Dark colored buggers and streamers are good on the fly rod. Marabou jigs and tube jigs in black or olive have been effective. Lucky Craft Pointer 78 lures in ghost rainbow or ghost minnow colors can also produce some good fish. Give us a call for the most updated report.
• Weber River
The water has recently come up on the middle stretch, but still running clear. The lower is significantly higher with a little color to it. There have been traces of Caddis in the water. Nymphing is still the best bet for producing fish. Try Sow Bugs, Surveyor nymphs, or Pulsating Caddis. A Parachute Hare's Ear on top might get a few takes as we get closer to the Mother's Day caddis hatch.
• Middle Provo
The Blue Winged Olives are starting to taper off. Fishing Blue Wing nymphs will produce more fish than Blue Wing dries will at this time, but don't hesitate to throw dries if there are still fish rising. Start gearing up more for the Mother's Day caddis hatch by throwing caddis nymphs, such as the Core Caddis, or Pulsating Caddis. A golden epoxy-back stone nymph is a good bottom fly.
• Lower Provo
The Lower is fishing very similar to the middle section. Plan on seeing caddis but not as many stoneflies.
• Starvation/Deer Creek
We have been getting good reports from both Starvation and Deer Creek for the Rainbow Trout. Powerbait has been the most effective from shore. Also try Jakes Spin-A-Lures. From a boat, try trolling pop gear and a worm or minnow baits such as Rapalas and Lucky Craft Lures.
• Green River
There have been sightings of early Cicadas. The fish probably won't be keying in on them for about another 3 weeks or so but it could be a big year for them. The water temperature coming out of the dam is warming up so the baetis are coming off on the A section. Juju's and San Juan worms underneath will produce fish. The Sprout Baetis or CDC Baetis are good options on top.
• Jordanelle
The best reports we have had are from people that are throwing suspending jerk baits such as Lucky Craft Pointer 78 SP's in rainbow trout, shad, or chub minnow colors.
