Got off work early Fished the middle Provo today near the Charleston / Midway Area. Got to the river about 10 am there was a cold breeze but the sun was out so it was quite nice. The river has medium to slow flows nothing like a few months ago
Caught 4 Browns nothing of any real size but fun none the less
Im pretty new to the Provo so didnt really know what flies to use but saw a bunch of little minnows darting around so I figured I use a small streamer
caught all fish on a brown\orange bugger.

Dont forget the classic standby's (pheasant tail and hares ears, etc...), as well as some bigger streamers for the more aggressive fish. They should hit the streamers just about anytime, but get very territorial when the spawn is going on. Its gonna be time to bust out the red zebra's before I know it.

I agree, streamer power should be picking right up. I've been seeing alot of browns pulling motocross stunts in the air which always seems to happen right before they get their groove on. They are an aggressive fish to begin with so streamers work well.
There have been some nice hatches in the evening as well.
