<div>Trout are gorging themselves with midges in the early mornings and tranisitoning to caddis in the late morni g early afternoon. The flows are the same around 500 cfs with clarity improving daily. Not much debris in the river.</div>

<div>Flows are starting to come down. The water temperature is still hovering around 40-45 degrees. Cased caddis size 18-20 and baetis black in color size 20 are the ticket. Trout are still taking midges. Clarity is improving but remains murky</div>

<div>We have midges coming off hard in the mornings with gray sow bugs. Flows are still up do use hot head sow bugs and hot head pheasant tail size 16-22 as this helps combat the clarity issue we are seeing. </div>

<div>Flows are up and the fish are heavily feeding on cased caddis, midges, and baetis. Mid day, the fish are taking black stoneflies size 14. We are seeing PMD's starting to come off with Caddis. </div>

What a fantastic day on the Provo River with Ben and his wife! As a fly fishing guide here in Provo, I can't think of a better way to spend a June afternoon than out on this beautiful river, chasing some hard-fighting brown trout. The weather was perfect - clear skies all day, with comfortable temperatures that made it a real pleasure to be on the water.We met up at the river around noon and wasted no time getting our rods rigged up and lines in the water. The Provo is known for its healthy population of brown trout, and it didn't take long before we started getting some solid hook-ups. Benjamin and his wife were casting like pros, presenting the flies just right to entice those fish to strike. We had a great mix of nymph presentations that really got the brown trout fired up. The fish were chasing hard, making acrobatic jumps and peeling line off the reels. It was nonstop action, and you could feel the energy building with every hookup.In between the flurries of catching, we had the chance to take in the stunning scenery of the Provo River. The water was in excellent condition - clear and cool, with just the right flow to make the fishing really productive. As we worked our way upstream, we saw plenty of wildlife, from the ever-present waterfowl to the magnificent views of the surrounding mountains. It was the perfect backdrop for a great day of fly fishing.If you're looking to experience the best the Provo River has to offer, I can't recommend the Provo River Fly Fishing Guides' 4 Hour Wade Fishing trip enough. Whether you're a seasoned angler or someone new to the sport, our knowledgeable guides will make sure you have an unforgettable day on the water. The chance to hook into hard-fighting brown trout in such a beautiful natural setting is truly special, and we'd love to share it with you. So what are you waiting for?

Provo River Fly Fishing Guides | 4 Hour Wade Fishing On The Provo River

Chasing Hard-Fighting Brown Trout on the Picturesque Provo River

It was a beautiful spring day in Provo, Utah, perfect for a peaceful wade fishing trip on the Provo River. I met up with Ethan and one other guest at 8:00 am to kick off our 4-Hour Wade Fishing adventure with Provo River Fly Fishing Guides. The weather was just about perfect - partly cloudy throughout the day, with a nice cool breeze keeping things comfortable as we hit the water.

We started off working some of the prime fly fishing runs, looking to entice some hungry trout to rise to our flies. The conditions were fantastic, with clear, great water that allowed us to spot fish holding in the deeper pockets and seams. While we didn't manage to hook into anything right away, it was just great to be out on the river, taking in the peaceful scenery and enjoying some quality time on the water. I showed the guys some of my favorite fly fishing techniques, and they were picking it up quick, making some nice casts and working the water methodically.

After a while, the action started picking up, and we began connecting with some feisty Trout. Nothing huge, but the fish were putting up a great fight on our lightweight fly rods. It was just one of those days where the fishing was steady, with enough action to keep us engaged without ever feeling too hectic. We rotated through different flies and presentation styles, reading the water and adjusting our approach to find what the fish wanted. By the time our trip wrapped up, we'd had a great time on the river, with plenty of laughs and some nice fish to show for our efforts.

If you're looking to experience some of the best fly fishing Utah has to offer, I'd highly recommend booking a 4-Hour Wade Fishing trip with Provo River Fly Fishing Guides. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting into the sport, we'll make sure you have an amazing time on the water, with top-notch gear, proven techniques, and the kind of scenic, peaceful setting that makes fly fishing so special. The Provo River is truly a gem, and we can't wait to share it with you. So what are you waiting for? Book your trip today and let's get you out on the water!

Reel in the thrill of a Provo River fly fishing odyssey, where feisty trout and serene mountain views culminate in an unforgettable outdoor adventure.

Trevor Nicolaides is a Utah native who has spent most of his life fly fishing the state’s iconic waters, including the well-known Blue Ribbon stretches of the Provo River. His fly fishing journey began at just 13 years old, when he gained national recognition after being published in Fly Fish America for developing a highly effective trout pattern. That early achievement led to a successful fly tying career, supplying patterns to shops across Wyoming and clients throughout the country under his brand, The Fly Ty Guys. As a guide, Trevor brings more than two decades of fly fishing knowledge to the water. His foundation in fly tying provides a deep understanding of insect life, fish behavior, and matching patterns to local conditions. Trevor’s thoughtful and precise approach to the sport helps anglers improve their skills and confidence on the river. Whether you’re learning to read water, select the right fly, or perfect your drift, Trevor is committed to helping guests have a rewarding and educational day outdoors. Trevor specializes in wade fishing techniques, offering guests an up-close connection to the river while teaching them how to move through current, position themselves effectively, and make the most of each cast. His calm and patient guidance helps anglers at all experience levels get more out of their time on the water. With a focus on technique, safety, and stewardship of the river, Trevor’s trips are designed to be both enjoyable and enriching. Rather than using a traditional boat, Trevor’s trips are based around guided wade fishing along accessible and productive stretches of Utah’s rivers and mountain canyons. This allows for a more hands-on experience and creates more opportunities for learning, observation, and success. The gear is thoughtfully chosen for each outing, and the day’s location is selected based on season, water flow, and the needs of the guest. Whether targeting Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, Brook Trout, or Mountain Whitefish, guests can expect a well-organized and professional outing led by someone who knows these waters inside and out.
