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...

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.
