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.
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

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.
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.
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.

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.

Tons of hungry fish looking for opportunities!We have the Buffalo Midge hatch going on and it's constant action on the Middle Provo! Look for those risers and throw midges!
The Provo is fishing well especially with hoppers size 10-12 with a phesant tail/PMD dropper sizes 20-24. Healthy brown trout are hungry and fight well in the higher water
Very busy with other anglers but fished very well
Fished very well even though it was hot. The fish fought well
Runoff has flows higher than usual. The fish are gorging themselves with worms and sow bugs
Ratings & Reviews Summary

Trevor is awesome! He is very patient and gives incremental feedback. The last time I picked up a fly rod was about 20 years ago. To say I was “rusty” is an understatement. My first trip with him was February, and after a bit of on-on-one tutoring I was casting sufficient to land a good 14” brown trout. My second trip was an afternoon trip in the first week of April. With Trevor’s quick reminders from my previous trip, I was on the fish within minutes, and caught 6 good size brown trout. My third trip was a week later and was even more productive. My first fish was an awesome 22” rainbow trout and then several brown trout followed (honestly I lost count). Trevor kept giving great feedback and suggestions. He was as excited to see me catch fish as I was. Even though I had my own net he was there supporting me every time.

Trevor is incredibly knowledgeable of all aspects of fly fishing. On my guided trip on the Middle Provo River with him, he helped me understand the mechanics of how to fly fish. I quickly got the hang of casting, mending, and hooking the fish along with how to properly identify which flies to use for the day. The trip was a great success and I caught over 10 fish that day. I would highly recommend hiring Trevor and his team as a fly fishing guide.

Top-notch fishing tour! The skilled guide, pristine waters, and the excitement of landing a trophy-sized fish exceeded all expectations. Can't wait to book again!

Incredible day of fishing! The well-maintained equipment, picturesque scenery, and the joy of reeling in big catches made it a memorable outing for the whole family.

The Fly Ty Guy Guides is an excellent fly fishing guide/operator who is professional, experienced, knowledgable and a great teacher with a strong ability to put you on the fish. Trevor provides high quality fishing equipment and carries 4,000 plus hand tied flies of all types and sizes which match any hatch. Trevor’s fly tying skills sets this guide service apart from other guide services with the ability to match the hatch and put you on the fish with flies he has tied. Store bought flies cannot compare or produce the results that Trevor’s experience and hand-tied flies produce. I highly recommend this guide service. Two thumbs up and five stars.
