Access can be found at Charleston Bridge in Charleston, along Midway Lane between Heber and Midway, downstream from Hwy. 40 near Midway Junction, below Jordanelle Dam. Mostly brown trout in the lower section with rainbow and cutthroats every now and again throughout the river. You'll want neoprene chest waders in winter, lightweight chest waders or hip waders in summer. Fish dropper rigs and streamers if you want to consistently catch trout on the Provo.
Streamers work well when the water has a bit of color.
Most of the river is restricted to artificial flies and lures only. The river has strict and varying regulations so be sure to check before you hit the water. Route 189 follows the river for much of its course in the lower section, and this is where the river gets pounded by anglers, especially in the public access areas. Top Article Mark D.
