Wind Speed and Direction
Wind Direction:
Wind Speed:
Wind Direction and Speed are one of the most important aspects for choosing a fishing spot. An offshore wind can help land-based anglers with longer casting distances, while an onshore wind will make kayak fishing safer. Often fish will also move to certain feeding areas depending on the wind direction. Check out the long term wind forecast at the charts below.
Fishing Barometer
Atmospheric Pressure:
Change since midnight:
Trend for next 6 hours:
Atmospheric or Barometric Pressure affects fish activity. The best fishing can be had on a rising barometer and also the time just before it is falling. A steady barometer in the higher ranges can also mean good fishing. A falling or low barometer reading without much change is usually not a very good time for fishing.
UV Effect on Fishing
As a rule of thumb, the higher the UV index, the deeper fish will move. Shallow water fishing is best done at times with a low UV index. When the UV is high, stick to early mornings, late evenings and shaded areas. The effect is less noticable in deeper water, but often a higher UV index can produce good results in the deep.

Fishing Overview Provo
Fishing around Provo, Utah is defined by three primary options: the Provo River, Utah Lake, and nearby mountain reservoirs like Deer Creek and Jordanelle. Each fishery fishes differently through the seasons, so matching tactics to water type and time of year is key.
The Provo River is a classic tailwater with strong populations of brown trout, rainbows, and mountain whitefish. In spring, runoff can stain the water in freestone sections, but the tailwater reaches below Deer Creek and Jordanelle usually stay fishable. Nymphing is the staple: small mayfly and midge patterns under an indicator or Euro–style tight line nymphing with 5X–6X tippet consistently produce. Focus on slower seams and inside bends when flows are high; trout slide tight to the bottom, so add enough weight to tap rocks regularly.
Summer brings prolific hatches and technical dry–fly fishing on the Provo. Work riffle edges and mid–river seams with small mayfly, caddis, and midge dries on long leaders. Sight–fishing with small emergers in skinny riffles is especially effective early and late in the day. When pressure is heavy, swing soft hackles or fish a dry–dropper with a tiny midge or perdigon 18–24 inches below the dry to reach educated fish holding just under the surface.
Fall on the Provo is prime time for larger brown trout. Browns stage near gravel and in deeper runs; streamer fishing becomes a top tactic. Use articulated streamers on sink–tip lines, working undercut banks, ledge drop–offs, and structure. Vary the retrieve—short strips followed by brief pauses will often trigger aggressive follows into solid eats.
Utah Lake, just minutes from downtown Provo, is a shallow, turbid warm–water fishery known for channel catfish, white bass, walleye, and carp. In late spring and early summer, white bass and walleye push shallow along rocky shorelines, harbors, and points at first and last light. Casting small jigs, curly–tail grubs, or lipless crankbaits in 3–8 feet of water is highly productive. When the sun gets high, follow fish slightly deeper, slow your retrieve, and hug the bottom.
Channel catfish on Utah Lake are best from late spring through early fall. Cut bait, shrimp, or nightcrawlers fished on simple slip–sinker rigs excel. Target river mouths, drop–offs along the old lake channels, and windward shorelines where waves concentrate scent and food. Don’t camp on dead water: if you don’t get a bite in 20–30 minutes, move until you intersect active fish.
Nearby reservoirs such as Deer Creek and Jordanelle add trout, smallmouth bass, perch, and walleye options. In spring, work rocky banks with tube jigs or small swimbaits for smallmouth. For trout, troll spoons and crankbaits along the main basin, watching your electronics for bait balls and temperature breaks. Ice–up typically brings a solid panfish and trout bite through the hardwater; use small tungsten jigs tipped with bait and stay mobile until you mark fish.
Across all waters around Provo, success hinges on adjusting to water clarity, flow, and light conditions. Scale down flies and leaders for clear, pressured tailwater trout; size up line, hooks, and presentations in the stained, wind–chopped waters of Utah Lake. Fish early and late, pay attention to bait and insect activity, and be willing to change locations quickly to track moving schools and seasonal patterns.
Interactive Fishing Map for the greater Provo area
Beaches and Bays are ideal places for land-based fishing. If the beach is shallow and the water is clear then twilight times are usually the best times, especially when they coincide with a major or minor fishing time. Often the points on either side of a beach are the best spots. Or if the beach is large then look for irregularities in the breaking waves, indicating sandbanks and holes. We found 1 beaches and bays in this area.
