Uinta Lakes
The Uinta Lakes are a great place to go if you want to try to escape the heat. Fishing is very good, the fish are active as usual. Whether you are fishing with a spinning rod or a fly rod, a fly with a bubble will produce a good amount of fish. A red Krystal Killer or a prince nymph underneath the surface will work or if you want to fish on the surface try throwing an ant or beetle pattern, Parachute Adams, Mosquito, or Renegade. A gold Jakes Spin-A-lure with red dots is deadly throughout the high mountain lakes. You could also try some good old powerbait.
Green River
The dry fly fishing has been great! Cicadas and ants are working well. Try nymphing with black or red zebra midges, juju's, sows and san juans worms. The flows have been fluctuating between about 900 to 1700 CFS. 
Middle Provo
The Middle has been fishing well. We are starting to see more Green Drakes out. PMD's and Caddis are still around and have been consistently picking up fish. Try a double nymph rig with a drake or stonefly nymph as an attractor and a PMD emerger or a Caddis pupa.
Lower Provo
Nymph fishing has been most productive, sow bugs, caddis, and PMD's should all be working well. You might find a mid afternoon or late evening caddis or PMD hatch and be able to fish some dries.
Strawberry Reservoir
The fish out suspended over around 35 to 40 feet of water. Trolling with frog colored flat fish, or rainbow Lucky Craft/ Rapala lures. If you're fishing from the shore try garlic scented powerbait, or a black brown or white streamer. We have been getting reports that the Kokanee have been hitting on pink jakes spin-a-lures. The Crawdads are in the shallows as well, try a raw chicken leg in a Crawdad trap or just tie it to a string and use nets.
Weber River
The flows are up and the fishing has been good, stoneflys, PMD's, caddis and other attractor type patterns are all good options at this time.
Utah Lake
We have been getting good reports from people fishing for the catfish. Catfishing tends to be most productive in the evening to night time hours. The smellier the bait the better for catfish.
Deer Creek
Fishing has been decent for bass as well as trout. the bass are in the shallows so try Senkos, or curly tailed grubs have been working well. Trolling for trout has been the most productive with pop gear and a worm or flat fish.
We are always interested in the latest reports, if you have been out fishing recently call us up and give us the news. The number here is (801) 272-8808
