Fly Fishing Frenzy | blog | stories | reports

A few weeks ago we had our annual Frenzy trip up to Idaho and Montana where we landed some awesome fish.  We fished mostly streamers hunting for big aggressive trout.  When I got home I was convinced that the Brown trout up north are more aggressive.  A couple days after being home I was having withdrawals from [...]

Spring is coming to an end even though the weather is trying to keep it here.  We have had a up and down weather pattern over the last few weeks which is typical for spring in Utah.  There have been great reports of awesome BWO hatched on the Lower Provo.  Hatches are coming off depending [...]

I have fished the Lower Provo River my whole life and have caught many many fish on this section. I have seen a handful of colorful fat rainbow trout over the years but nothing like this fish. I hadn’t been fishing for a few weeks so Dave Hancey and I decided to take the afternoon [...]

Here is a quick river report from Kyle Brooks on the Lower Provo River.  I met Kyle a bit ago when I went up to Falcons Ledge for a fly tying retreat.  Kyle is an amazing fly tier and a great still water fisherman. River Report: Weather: 40 degrees and sunny. I fished the section [...]

Ogden River and Weber River – The Ogden River is still fishing pretty hot but the water is very low. Most productive patterns are egg and very small midges. The Ogden browns love the black zebra midge so have a handful with you just in case you get caught up in the pesky over hanging [...]

Here are a couple of vids that will start your week off right.  Marc Crapo from No Sports Allowed has a great review on a William Joseph Coastal Backpack and Collin Carlson from Finpusher tying up some Provo Hookers.  Man those Hookers look good…. Provo River Update Fishing Report for the Provo River for last week.  The [...]

So, I have heard from a number of different sources that the fish are getting active and aggressive.  Here is a quick river report on some of the rivers. Weber and Ogden Rivers: The Ogden River is running at good levels and is somewhat clear. You can’t go wrong with 18-20 black zebra midges. Your usual suspects [...]

We don’t write many reports for the Provo River but have heard a lot of good things about the different sections so I wanted to share.   Lower Provo River: I haven’t fished for a week or so but have heard from many that PMD’s are coming off mid day.  You will see major PMD [...]

Last Wednesday night I hit the lower Provo River for a caddis hatch.  The video pretty much tells it all but I ran out of time on the camera to give a little wrap up.  It was one of the best nights on the lower Provo River in a couple years.  I can’t really put [...]

I couldn’t leave the taste in my mouth of the last time I was on the Provo River so I went up early Friday morning and was set on landing a fish.  I was only there for about an hour but I dominated.  I had 6 fish on and landed them all.  The nicest fish of the [...]

I don’t give many reports but I went out fishing on the Lower Provo River and wanted to vent some frustration and give a report on the water level and fishing.  The water level is a bit above what the mid summer flows are usually.  The Clarity right now is good as long as you stay [...]

Love the Provo River in March!!!

I have always loved this picture, it is of one of my favorite brown trout ever caught on the Provo River.  I know I have shared this many times but every fall I find myself finding this picture and admiring the colors.

I have not been fishing much this fall compared to years past so I have been trying to get on the water even if it is 30 min.  I hit the Provo River a few days ago and was only there for about an hour.  I figured this was a sequel to the first video I did [...]

Picture of the week.  Winter fishing on the Provo River.

Fly Fishing Utah I’ve heard many people that go fly fishing utah’s Provo River that there aren’t many big fish on the Upper Provo.  The Middle and Lower always hold decent fish, but Upper Provo was mainly a small fish fishery. Well, I beg to differ.  Royce and I went up to Woodland Utah to [...]
