The Provo near Charleston is running at a very fishable 204 CFS with a gauge height of 3.56 ft and a comfortable water temperature of 64.4°F — prime conditions for active trout and emerging summer hatches. Flows are steady and clear, setting up excellent nymphing and afternoon dry fly opportunities across all sections.

Hatch Chart
| Insect | Size | Activity | Prime Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pale Morning Dun (PMD) | #16–20 | Peak — fish actively rising in tailouts and flat seams | 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM |
| Caddis (Hydropsychidae) | #16–20 | Strong — adults bouncing off the surface, trout crushing them | 2:00 PM – Dusk |
| Golden Stonefly | #8–12 | Building — nymphs highly active subsurface; adults sporadic midday | All day subsurface; adults 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM |
| Blue-Winged Olive (Baetis) | #18–22 | Tapering — still active on overcast or partly cloudy windows | 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM on cloudy days |
| Midge (Chironomidae) | #20–22 | Steady — year-round tailwater staple, especially effective at dawn | Dawn – 9:00 AM |
| Sowbug / Scud | #10–16 | Consistent — always in the drift, reliable all-day producer | All day |
Best Time Window
- Dawn – 9:00 AM: Midge and sowbug nymphing in slow tailouts; streamer strip along undercut banks in low light
- 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM: PMD and BWO nymph rigs in riffles and runs; watch for early risers on overcast stretches
- 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM: Prime caddis and PMD dry fly window — work bubble lines and soft seams before afternoon winds build
Guide's Tip
From the benchWith 64.4°F water and flows at 204 CFS, the Provo is in a sweet spot right now — start your morning with a midge or sowbug nymph in the slow tailouts, then transition to a PMD nymph rig by 10 AM as fish move into feeding lanes ahead of the afternoon hatch. When you see the first caddis bouncing off the surface (usually around 2 PM), switch to a CDC caddis dry and work the soft seams and bubble lines with a drag-free drift. Monday's forecast high of 83°F with SSW winds up to 32 mph gusts means fish the morning window hard — by early afternoon the wind will push fish down and make dry fly presentations difficult, so have your nymph rig ready to go back to.
