Provo River - August 13th, 2009
supplied by: Fishwest Outfitters FISHING: Goodmaps Lower Provo River: Good
River below Deer Creek is currently around 580 cfs. Expect to find fish hanging out near the bank and structure. Nymph fishing will have the most success right now. Sow bugs, stonefly, pmd and caddis patterns are producing some good fish. Fish on dries possible in the evening on standard Caddis patterns.
River flows are around 580cfs in the upper reaches and Chartleston is reporting flows around the 490s cfs. Water tempetures are still cold but fishing should still be really good, especially in the evening with caddis emerging and good top water action possible using standard emerger and dry patterns. Nymphing in the lower reaches using sowbugs, stoneflies, mayflies, and worm patterns have been effective. Caddis and mayfly subsurface imitations work well for the upper reaches which have been fishing well.
Patterns: 20 incher #10-#14, wd 50 (brown, gray) #18-#20, San Juan worm (red,tan) Caddis ( green,cream) #16, Barr emerger (pmd) #18-#20 PMD nymph #16-#18 stonefly nymph (brown #6-#10) Caddis emergers and dries in #18s and #20s (olive, tans,and browns)
Weber River - August 13th, 2009
supplied by: Fishwest Outfitters FISHING: Goodmaps
Current release from Rockport is around 190 cfs. Fishing should be good with sow Bugs, Caddis, and Stonefly nymphs with your best bug activity accurring just before dark.
Patterns: Sow bugs #12-#16,PMD nymph #16-#18 ,stonefly nymph (brown,black) #8-#12, Barr's PMD emerger #16 #18 San juan worm #10-#14 (red,tan) Caddis dries and emergers in #18 and #16s (olives and tans)

PLEASE NOTE: HEADERS WITH AN *** preceding the title indicate no changes from the previous report. RIVER FLOW INFORMATION-FLAMING GORGE - (Extracted from the Bureau of Reclamations Weekly Report). Water Users Meeting
The Guides and Outfitters recently had a meeting with WAPA and the Bureau of Reclamation representatives and we were able to voice our concerns about the recent flows that seemed to be putting the trout off their feed. they were very receptive to our proposals and stated they would look into trying to work things out to a more trout friendly approach then we have seen. They still need flow numbers they were given to support the endangered species but within that parameter they will still try to work with us.
RIVER WATER TEMPERATURES- After a meeting with the Guides and Outfitters of the Green River the water temperatures were somewhat of a surprise to both Area Power and the Bureau of Reclamation officers. Immediately they have moved the Penstocks to the highest level they can and are putting out a much steadier warmer flow of about 53 degrees. WATER QUALITY- Water quality rated poor, fair, good or excellent is currently: DAM TO LITTLE HOLE= Good. LITTLE HOLE TO RED CREEK= Good BELOW RED CREEK= Good However we all know it can change at any time. Lately it has been consistently good. Best to check locally before depending on conditions to be favorable enough to fish. A NOTE ABOUT RED CREEK: Rain storms or early spring run-off may cause Red Creek (12 miles downstream from the dam) to flow on occasion, it's effect depends on how much flow is occurring into the river-just a little, not bad, a lot, cloudy but usually can be fished with streamers. A heavy flow will cause the lower Green River to run completely red at times and be entirely unfishable.
AVAILABLE AQUATIC INVERTEBRATES, AQUATIC INSECTS AND TERRESTRIAL HATCHES: SCUDS - Scuds should be olive/gray, #16-22 or smaller if you want to match. the natural micro-scuds. Larger scuds (#14-10) in Tan, Pink and Orange as attractors are also effective. MIDGES - Pupa: brassies, red, olive, camel or black #20-24. Tie some with tungsten beads for weight (known as Zebra midges), others with glass beads for color. Adults: the most common adults are black, olive, or gray. Small Adams and simple adult midge patterns (#16 to #22) will work including clustering patterns such as a Griffiths Gnat, Two Bead Midge or the local Fuzz ball. BAETIS- Just a few sporadically showing. PALE MORNING DUNS-Late June to July. TRICOS- None. CALLIBAETIS- None. CADDIS- Some hatches but the great evening hatch has slowed down. STONE FLIES- Yellow Sally stone flies also early July. CICADAS- Some. TERRESTRIALS- Yes. ATTRACTORS- Beginning - MORMON CRICKETS- None. STREAMERS- Woolly Buggers 4-6, black, olive, tan, Goldilocks. Double Bunnies 2-4, Playboy Bunnies.
The fly list above suggests the available trout food and their imitations. Each week I will list the top six flies that were productive from the week before. Please keep in mind they also change with current fishing conditions.
Hoppers - Very good all sizes small to large Ant & Beetle Patterns very good Zebra Midges - wine #18-24 Chernobyl Ants Caddis - 14 light tan Fat Alberts Working for hoppers Buggers in tan, black, olive, Goldilox Buggers, Double Bunnies, Playboy Bunnies. Yellow Sally Stones Gone for season Pale Morning Dun Gone for season Triple Doubles & Double Ugly's are doing Well THE PAST WEEK IN REVIEW - RATED 6
Hoppers are working better as a dry than anything. there are a few hatches continuing but nothing heavy right now. Some Caddis (here and there) are good if you can center a hatch, but they are sporadic. Nymphs are doing well in the top section of "A" but I am hearing that there are more smaller fish caught this way than usual. Good nymphs working are still the slender body styles like zebra midges, WD-40s, RS2s and Bar emergers in small sizes below 18s. The grasshopper patterns start their thing half way down A section in the fast water and continue all the way to the bottom of Swallow Canyon and beyond into Colorado. I hear patterns from the foam variety all the way through spun hair and the Joes Hopper type pattern are all having success and like stated earlier all sizes from gigantic to 14 are doing well.
P.S. - We welcome you to stop by for a visit with us in our fly shop located on the corner of the Highway 191 and the Little Hole Road in Dutch John. Our Daily summer hours are 7:00 AM to 7:00 & 8:00 PM on weekends . *** FORECAST FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS AHEAD- RATED 6.0 and higher. It appears the flows are going to be a bit more even, still plenty water. (around 2000 cfs) This should even out the fishes feeding habits and make it somewhat easier.
*** THIS PAST WEEKS CROWD MONITOR- On a rating of 1 to 10, with one being an empty river and ten stay home. (5) Important to remember: Wade Fishers: There are only two access points on the upper river, Little Hole and Spillway. Everyone has to enter at one of these two areas. It's not important how many people are there, but what you do to separate yourself from others makes for solitary fishing. If you are reluctant to walk a little, expect to fish with others. Boaters: Seems there are always a large number of novice boaters trying out their river skills, not all are successful, hopefully they will improve as the year progresses. The worst transgressions: Following too close to others boaters, cutting too closely in front of other drifting boats, floating through or over another anglers fish, competing for fishing holes and fish already occupied by other boating or wading anglers. There's plenty of river and fish, let's give each other a little courtesy and room (i.e. try practicing the Golden Rule when it comes to our fellow anglers). This is supposed to be fun for us all! These ratings are the lowest possible anytime. Weekends A Section (Friday/Saturday)= 7 for fishermen, 8 for rafters. B section (Friday/Saturday)= 4 for fishermen- 3for rafters. Weekdays, all sections = 6
*** EVALUATION RATINGS -- 5-- Fishing's been 5 On occasions Denny was asked about his rating system which was used to evaluate the fishing in this report. The questions were generally things like: do you ever rate the fishing a ten? You won't see a ten from me very often, it has to be consistently incredible for a ten rating. Though we do get incredible days, we seldom get a full week of it. Other comments are that I'm to conservative only rating the river at a five or six. So here it is: 1,2,3 very poor to poor; 4 below average; 5,6 average to good; 7 great; 8 excellent; 9 superb; 10 incredible. So you can see, a five or six rating is not a poor rating and should be a great time to fish the river.

L.C. Ranch - Private - June 15th, 2009
supplied by: Fishwest Outfitters FISHING: Excellentmaps
Fishing is excellent and should stay that way until the water temperatures get too high. We have rising fish, we have aggressive fish that are cruising looking for an easy meal. The spring insect hatches are strong and the fish are responding.
Fremont River - March 23rd, 2009
supplied by: Fremont River Guides RECORDED:50 °FISHING: Good Upper Fremont - Fishing on the upper stretches has been picking up over the past week with warmer days as well as rising water temperatures. Midges are hatching daily in the early afternoon. The snow is all but gone now along the river and water levels are low and very clear. The browns are spooky but very active mid-day and can be approached with lighter lines and soft casts. Streamers as well as dry droppers are very effective and will continue to be for another month or so until water is released from Johnson Valley Reservoir.
Lower Fremont - The lower river is also starting to pick up on warmer sunny days. Trout are very spooky as there is little cover and you should expect to use the best of presentations to have any chance at these large bows' and browns. Fine tippets are the rule along with well placed casts that land light on the water. A good day would be to land a half dozen fish.
Provo River - Lower - December 12th, 2006
supplied by: Four Seasons Flyfishers FISHING: Good
Middle Provo: 210 – 235 c.f.s. Higher water levels have helped to really improve fishing as opposed to our typical winter flow rates. As long as this trend continues; look for trout nearer the head of the run. There are a variety of larger [#14 to #18] scuds in the water ranging from gray to green to tan. Sow bugs have also been consistent fish producers for the past several weeks. Colors range from brown to gray to white and sizes are consistent with the scuds. There is an increasingly strong midge presence on the water as one approaches the Jordanelle Dam. Most common colors have been black and green; although one could expect to see gray adults as well. Any variety of colors and/or stages of emergence will work sub-surface. Hook sizes should be kept somewhere in between #22 to #26.
Provo River - Middle - November 19th, 2005
supplied by: Four Seasons Flyfishers FISHING: Excellent
Daily Stage and Stream Flow [click here]
The Middle is still great. the fish are eating globugs, San Juan worms, and baetis nymphs pretty much everywhere. The streamer fishing is also good with lots of fish eating the classic Mickey Finn.
Provo River - Upper - November 19th, 2005
supplied by: Four Seasons Flyfishers FISHING: Great
The Upper is being great to us as well. The rainbows are still in the river trying to do their thing. Same with the brown trout. Fishing with glo-bugs and streamers is the best way to go.
Strawberry Reservoir - November 19th, 2005
supplied by: Four Seasons Flyfishers FISHING: Great
Go now for one last hoo-rah before the lakes ices up. The fishing is great and we are seeing some enormous fish this year. Big streamers are the key to success.
Currant Creek - November 19th, 2005
supplied by: Four Seasons Flyfishers FISHING: Good
This little stream has plenty of browns spawnign right now in very shallow water. The fish are chasing small streamers, globugs and there seems to be quite a few cutthroat eating dries still.
