May 21st, 2013 Fishing Report

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.
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.  
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.
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.
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. Powerbait, Marabou Jigs, Tube Jigs, and Lucky Craft Lures have all been working well. Black or brown streamers or leeches are also a good option.
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.
