Tips, Ties And Tactics Park City, Utah: Help Me On The Provo River
Posted by rjforce on Tuesday, March 06 @ 07:45:47 PST

I have not done a lot of fly fishing, I live in central Florida but most of my experience is fishing salmon in upstate NY. Wet flies with a weighted line is what we use up there on pretty heavy equipment. I am coming to Park City, UT at the end of this week and plan to take a day or two on the lower Provo River. My question; line, tippet, flies, etc. How do you rig and are there specific rules regarding tippet length, line weight, etc.
Any help would be appreciated.

Most of the river is "no bait" and that is about it, as far as I know, when it comes to gear and methods go. I am not aware of any "unusual" regulations. As far as gear goes I would suggest a 9ft 5 or 6 wt rod with a 9 ft leader tapered to 4 to 6X depending n the hatch. Small midges have been working well. Afternoon dry fly action has been excellent. Traditional nymphing always works well. There are a couple videos in my video sections that will show you exactly how to set up. I would also suggest checking out the middle Provo between Jordanelle Res and Deer Creek Res. I hope that helps. I am sure others will have info to add.

The fish on the lower seem to be more cooperative and less line shy than the middle, the middle getting pounded pretty regularly. Small sparce midges, 22 - 26 on the middle. Midges on the lower are a bit bigger with a few blue wings starting to get mixed in on cloudy days to keep you guessing!
