Cast a line into Blue Ribbon-designated waters for a chance to catch trophy-sized Brown and Rainbow Trout between the Jordanelle and Deer Creek dams.
Itinerary tips
- 1Purchase your Utah fishing license online before arriving and ensure you have it digitally saved on your phone for easy access.
- 2Park at the Midway Lane or River Road trailheads to access the most productive public sections of the river between the two dams.
- 3Pack a pair of polarized sunglasses to cut through the water's surface glare and help you spot trout holding in the riffles.
- 4Plan for at least a four-hour session, though a full-day guided trip is recommended for beginners to learn the specific hatch patterns.
- 5Bring a variety of midge and sowbug patterns as these are the most consistent year-round food sources for Middle Provo trout.
- 6Avoid the crowds by hiking further upstream from the main access points toward the Legacy Bridge area.
