What's your favorite hatch on the provo river? - a_flyfishin_kid - 04-29-2013
I'm curious what is your can't miss hatch on the Provo. For me I would say its the green drakes. Please comment your favorite and why!

+1 on the "rubber hatch". The fishing may not be the greatest, but the scenery sure makes up for it!

Hydropsyche's, all summer long.
Working class insect - hatch/mate/egg-lay during late afternoons and evenings. Very consistent. [

Totonka chironomids
The bigger midge that come off starting in Febuary. there is little or no pressure on the rivers at that time. Ephemera guttulata is a great hatch, but eveybody and there dogs are usually up there. It's a trip to see giant mayfly coming down, or flying around...
"You ask a typical guide what's hatching? the answer to that question is whatever's hatchin? pmbwo's are comin off? Hey what's hatchin? pmbwo's? Uh... sculpin are comin off, right? sculpin are hatchin?"

Green Drakes on the middle Provo - Yes, but they would be the Western Green Drake (Drunella grandis/doddsi)... we're probably a couple thousand miles away from any E. guttulata hatch. [
]The true Green Drake is an absolute monster... size 8-10, 4X long (to put it in hook size terms).
How about the flav's? I've seen the nymphs on the lower Provo just upstream of the tunnel. Anyone seen this hatch in fishable numbers? It's a blue-winged olive (or slate-winged olive) about a hook size 14. I used to fish their East Coast cousins (E. cornuta) on the Brodhead River.
