"Provo River Fly Fishing Adventure: A Day of Trout, Scenery, and Excitement"
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.

Middle Provo Fishing Report
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.

Casting for Trout on the Provo: An Unforgettable Fly Fishing Adventure
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!

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

Fishing Report
Water starting to rise, hot head sow bugs are the ticket to rising water levels and reduced clarity, throwing some san juan worms in red and wine colors size 10-12

Fishing Report
Water levels are low with deep pockets, midge hatches peridocially throughout the day. Fish are picky but hungry so throwing a phesant tail and a zebra midge will do the trick! Stomach sample proven cased caddis size 16. Clear skies and about 20-25 degrees throughout the day.

Ratings & Reviews Summary
July 1, 2025
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.

We had the pleasure of going fly fishing with Trevor as our guide – and it was fantastic! He is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and shares his expertise with real passion. We learned a lot and had a great experience on the water. Highly recommended for anyone looking to take their fly fishing to the next level!
