Fall Fly Fishing In Northern Utah

Welcome to the Fall fly fishing report for the Park City and Salt Lake City areas. The weather has definitely turned a corner and I think we’re through the hottest part of Summer. Temps have been dropping and the local trout are getting happier. I’ve been having a lot of fish attack some of the smaller fish we catch lately which means streamer time. Also the Fall PMD’s are around and the BWO’s are right around the corner. Fishing will be great for the next 3 months. Get out there and mess with the trout!

Provo River Fishing Report

Middle Provo River Fall

September 1 2026 – Flows are still around 320 cfs and in the low 50’s. Weather has been great with cooler temps thanks to the rain the last week. I’ve been doing well in the morning on midges in brown or grey sized 24-28. PMD’s are around mid morning with some fish up. Small PMD emergers size 24 have been best.

November 15 2025 – Nymphing in the morning has been best on the sunny days. The sun hits the water and gets the midges going. There are still some Blue Wings still coming off around noon. Nymphing with BWO emergers and small brown midges has been good throughout the day. Some trout are starting to spawn so eggs should start working. Also avoid walking through redds and don’t fish to trout on them.

October 30 2025 – The dry fly fishing is still off the charts good right now. The Blue Winged Olive hatch around noon is amazing. Size 24 No Seeums in grey with a split tail is working great. The morning midge hatch continues to bring fish up from 9:00 – 11:00. Grey or brown shuckers sized 24 have been working good. Nymphing with midges and BWOs has been good all day.

October 23 2025- The BWO hatch has been great at about noon. Lots of fish up until about 2:00. Still some PMDs hatching out there with the BWOs. No Seeums and Comparaduns have been working. Depending on the section of river you’re in you could have a good midge hatch in the morning that will bring fish to the surface from about 9:00 – 11:00. Grey and Brown Shuckers are still working great. Nymphing is good from morning until late afternoon. Midges and BWO emergers work most of the day.

October 12 2025 – Fishing has been great. Midges in the morning and Blue Wings around noon. Still a good amount of PMDs hatching with the BWOs. Dry fly fishing has been incredible. Grey shuckers for the midges in the morning and No Seeums in the afternoon for the Baetis and PMDs. Nymphing has been great.

Small Stream Fishing Report

Strawberry River (Pinnacles)

September 1 2026 – Flows are still around 26 cfs and in the low 50’s. Weather has been great and the crowds have thinned. It’s hopper dropper season on the pinnacles. Hoppers with perdigon droppers in Olive have been working good. Make sure to get down deep enough. Also streamers are moving trout. Some mayflies out mid day will bring a few fish up too.

Strawberry River (Oasis)

September 1 2026 – Flows are still around 320 cfs and in the low 50’s. Weather has been great with cooler temps thanks to the rain the last week. It’s getting mossy which has been making nymphing tough but still doable. Nymph small midges in brown size 24 with small sowbugs in the morning. PMD’s are out in the afternoon and fishing gets really good. Dry fly fishing can be good too if you find a pod of rising trout. Use splitcases in size 18-16 and split tail comparaduns on top. You can bring some fish up on hoppers too.

September 1 2026 – Flows are good and the temperature is in the 50’s. Fishing is good but the river is definitely getting grassy. Nymphing midges, sowbugs and PMD’s will produce fish all day. Fish are looking for hoppers too so make sure and cover water with a big tan hopper.
