I agree with Saber. The Provo is or can be a very technical river. It gets pounded so hard, that the fish do get wise.
I do the best on the LOWER with an indicator and either nymphs like Copper Johns, Zebra's, Haresear, PT and even Princes, but don't forget to try SCUDS or SOWBUGS. That is the main diet at all times on the Provo. Just read up on nymphing. With an indicator (depending on how fast or slow the water is) you will want to at least go 1 and 1/2 the depth of the water on your leader. If it is 2' deep, then set your indicator at 3' to 4' up your leader and mend so the indicator is not being dragged by the line just as if it were a dry. I put split shot (BB) about 8" to 12" above my first fly. That seems to work the best for me.
I too fish the exact spot you are talking. In the evening right at the "Y" connection of the river BWO in 16 to 18 work killer.
