The Lower Provo River is a slightly longer drive from Park city than the Middle Provo, around 30 minutes southeast of our fly shop.

For more information on current conditions and how the fishing has been lately check out our Middle Provo River Fishing Reports The middle section of the Provo River ends as the river flows into Deer Creek Reservoir. The middle Provo had a full-scale stream restoration completed on it which added approximately four miles of river meanders, and much needed in-stream structure. Because of this, good dry fly fishing is a possibility throughout the year on your middle Provo guide trip. The middle Provo is composed of a cobblestone bottom with good hatches of mayflies, caddis, stoneflies and midges.

The temperature remains colder in the summer and warmer in the winter making the trout and the insects much more active. This results in fairly stable water temperatures and flows throughout the year as opposed to a freestone river that fluctuates highly in flow and temperature. One of the reasons that the middle Provo is such a spectacular fishery is the result of it being a tail water below Jordanelle Reservoir. You will be immersed in a beautiful, wild natural setting with dramatic scenery and wildlife.

The middle Provo is located just off of highway 40 in the Heber valley and our guides know all of the best holes, riffles and runs and can show you where that trophy brown trout lives.Ī guide trip on the middle Provo River is a memorable experience regardless of the fact that the river is a great fishery. Because of the proximity, middle Provo River guide trips are our most popular trips. The middle Provo river is a convenient and short 15 mile drive east of Park City, Utah. As it leaves the Uinta Mountains, the Provo makes its way through two major reservoirs, Jordanelle Reservoir and Deer Creek Reservoir, and a major population center in the lower reaches before ultimately ending the journey as it empties into Utah Lake.įor ease of description, it is divided into three sections the upper Provo River (the river above Jordanelle reservoir upstream to the headwaters), the middle Provo River (the river below Jordanelle Reservoir downstream to Deer Creek Reservoir), and the lower Provo River (the river below Deer Creek Reservoir downstream.) Our fly fishing guides are experienced in fishing all three sections but specialize on and spend the majority of their time on the middle Provo River and the lower Provo River. The Provo River originates on the western flanks of the Uinta Mountain range east of our shop here in Park City, Utah.
