Hatch Chart
| Insect | Size | Activity | Prime Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Green Drake | #10–12 | Peak — marquee hatch of the year | 11:00 AM – 1:30 PM |
| Pale Morning Dun (PMD) | #16–20 | Active — overlapping with Green Drakes | 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM |
| Caddis (Spotted Sedge) | #16–20 | Building — skittering & skating effective | 5:00 PM – Dusk |
| Yellow / Golden Stonefly | #8–14 | Moderate — nymphs most productive | Afternoon warm periods |
| Midge | #20–24 | Consistent — reliable early-morning riser trigger | 7:00 AM – 9:30 AM |
| Terrestrials (Ants / Hoppers) | #12–16 | Emerging — building along grassy banks | Midday – Early Afternoon |
Best Time Window
- 7:00 AM – 9:30 AM: Midge hatch — nymph and midge dry action before the main event
- 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM: Prime Green Drake & PMD overlap — peak dry fly window of the year
- 5:00 PM – Dusk: Evening caddis hatch — skate and skitter CDC patterns along riffles and seams
Guide's Tip
From the benchThis is the best dry fly week of the Provo's entire year — Green Drakes and PMDs are overlapping right now, and fish are stacked in feeding lanes from 10am to 2pm. With air temps hitting 87°F, water temps will climb through the afternoon, so get on the water by 7am, ride the midge hatch into the Drake/PMD window, then get off by early afternoon. Transition to the evening caddis hatch after 5pm when temps drop — skate a CDC Caddis through riffles for some of the most visual fishing of the season.
