The Provo River Osprey
I always enjoy seeing Osprey cruise the Provo river for two reasons: 1) They are a beautiful birds and 2) I know they know the good fishing spots.
Last year I was guiding The Provo River and I saw an Osprey circle us time and time again from about 150 feet above the air.
I noted to my client that it was a fish predator, and we might we something spectacular. As we watched the Osprey circle for about five minutes, it made a sudden dash, head down, strait for the cool water. Right before it got to the water it lifted it’s head up and laid it’s wing’s across the rippling water, nevertheless making a huge splash. As it struggled for over 30 sec to pull out of the water, it had the same helplessness of a hatching mayfly trying to take it’s first flight. The Osprey then exited the water, still struggling, but slowly gaining it’s strength, as it flew away with a majestic fish that just like us, seeks this pride over and over again. This bird is one who explores, seeks, and finds success and has a name that now means more…”The Osprey”
St. Regis Fly Fishing – Deer Valley Utah
I’ve picked up a couple St. Regis fly fishing guest lately from the beautiful St. Regis in Deer Valley. Today it was Sean, Summer and Ethan. And they slayed them!
One of my favorite parts of the day was watching 9 year old Ethan get discouraged after his mother and father had both caught brown trout only 30 min after our arrival to the middle provo river. Ethan was sure that everyone had a good spot to fish except him and so he kept wanted to trade everyone. Me and our other guide Jerry kept telling him his turn would come. About 10 minutes later, bam! Ethan had a fish on but it got off as it swam towards him and we couldn’t tighten the line fast enough. About 10 minutes later he got another fish on and got this one in, as we started taking pictures his dad caught one too so we got the cool picture below!
If you are going to St. Regis fly fishing, make sure let us know and we’ll give you a great experience just like we did for this family.
Nice Job guys, good fishing! Can’t wait to see you guys back in Deer Valley so we can do some more fly fishing!

How Is The Water Level On The Lower Provo River
The graph above shows an eight day cycle of the Lower Provo River. I am excited to say the water levels are finally dropping on the lower provo river. They have been very high the past month and now we are starting to see a drop. Today the CFS level dropped 200, which as you can see from the graph is quite a bit, considering the middle provo river is running at a total of 547 CFS today.
My guess is that they will now start filling up Deer Creek Reservoir in anticipation for the hot dry summer months, but they have yet started flowing the water out of jordanelle, so the middle provo river is about to see it’s spring flush soon.
It’s important to fish with a Utah Fly Fishing Guide so that you have the opportunity to do the best fishing while out on the fly fishing rivers
Look forward to fly fishing with you soon!
Fly Fishing Tours In Utah
Got out fishing with Jason, the concierge at Waldorf Astoria, Park City, UT and his friend Kevin and had a blast. It was their first time ever fly fishing and both Jason and Kevin picked it up real fast. Kevin (in the red hat) caught 2-3 fish and landed his first fish within the first 10 min…nice work! There wasn’t to many people on the water and both Jason and Kevin kept commenting on how nice it was. Jason (in the blue hat) caught 1 small fish, but he worked hard for it and was very proud! No matter the size, a fish is a fish…nice work guys. Fly Fishing in Utah is such a relaxing way to spend the day, I’m glad you were both able to join us.

Nice Job Jeremy
(Nice 18 Inch Brown Trout On The Middle Provo!)
Had a great adventure taking Jeremy out fishing yesterday. He lives in Park City, Utah and has done lot’s of other fishing but has never tried fly fishing until yesterday. Right as we got to our secret fishing spot, I threw is line in the water and no joke, he had a fish on instantly. He pulled it up and out of the water and it broke the line. I hadn’t even yet explained to him any technique…sorry to break it to ya Jeremy but it was all luck and no skill.
But then after giving instructions on how to fly fish it was only 5 min into it and he caught a nice 15 inch Brown Trout(picture below). About 10 min later he then caught the nice 18 inch Brown Trout shown above. Good work Jeremy, nice fishin’!
