I hit the Lower Provo on Friday and Sunday and it is still fishing quite well. I caught a dozen or so a little below the dam. Almost every fish was caught on a jujubaetis, wd-40, rs-2, or zebra midge, all were around size 18 - 22. The water was higher and stronger than I expected.
I hit the area below Bridal Veil falls as well. The water was fast and treacherous, and I wouldn't recommend fishing it unless you know how. Still, I found a lot of good pocket water and caught around ten fish in a couple hours. A lot of PMD's were coming off in this section, seems a little early, but we had a warm year. I also saw a few BWO's and several midges. I Czech nymphed with a size 16 Iron Lotus (the brown PMD imitation) as my anchor fly and a size 18 rainbow warrior off a tag a little ways up. The fish favored the rainbow warrior most of the time. I only took pictures of a couple of the fish that I caught on this section.
