Itinerary tips

- 2Plan for at least a four-hour session to allow for hiking to secluded holes and adjusting to hatch cycles.
- 3Park at the River Road trailhead or the Legacy Bridge access point for the most direct entry to the Middle Provo section.
- 4Pack polarized sunglasses to cut the water glare and spot trout holding in the seams and riffles.
- 5Hire a local guide if it is your first time, as they provide all necessary gear including waders, boots, and secret fly patterns.
- 6Visit the nearby Midway Mercantile after your session for a locally sourced meal in a historic setting.
