Provo River is a tailwater in Utah.
Pick one of its USGS gauges and hear from us when the flow moves into or out of its usual range for the date, or crosses a flow you set. We check the public USGS reading every 2 hours and email only when it crosses, at most once every 6 hours. Flow alone is not a fishing forecast or a safety call.
Signed in: one step. Otherwise we email a confirmation link first. Every alert has one-click links to stop it.
Start from the agency's public access map. Nothing on this page grants or implies access: check the agency map, posted signs and landowner permission before you fish.

Matched on the fish the agencies list for both waters first, then the same water type, an official designation or flagship listing on both, and a similar mapped size where USGS hydrography covers both.
At most two waters per country. A shared fish is a listing, not a promise: presence varies by reach and season.

A water page organises discovery. It does not assert public access, legal access, current fish presence, guide availability or fishing conditions.
Flows, gauge statistics and flood stages come from USGS and the National Weather Service when the page is shown. Regulations, stocking, species and season statements link to the agency that publishes them; this page copies only the species names and the quoted sentences. Guide and shop listings come from the Legendary directories. Position: the Blue Ribbon Fisheries published by Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. Water type is our own classification.

Normal for Nov 5: 57–83 ft³/s (middle half of 63 years of record). Now: 132 ft³/s, highest for this date on record.
Highest for this date on record for this date. 132 ft³/s is above the highest daily mean recorded on this date of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 63 years of record (1964–2026): 10th 50, 25th 57, median 63, 75th 83, 90th 99 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 43.5 ft³/s, highest 118 ft³/s.
Classes as USGS labels them (hyswap: flow categories (WDFN_stats schema) (U.S. Geological Survey) ); percentiles from the USGS daily statistics (U.S. Geological Survey) (approved daily means; the reading is provisional and instantaneous).
Steady over 24 hours (−9.6% discharge). Rising or falling means a change of more than 10% in discharge (or 0.2 ft of gauge height) over 24 hours; our rule of thumb, not a USGS class.
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
NWS observed 3.04 ft stage, 132 ft³/s at Nov 5, 3:45 PM MST (NWS gauge WOOU1; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS river forecast forecast issued Nov 5, 8:56 AM MST. Highest point: 3.12 ft, 151 ft³/s on Nov 9, 5:00 AM MST (Below NWS action stage).

No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. Utah Division of Wildlife Resources publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Utah rule: 68°F.
Species the agency lists for Provo River: Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Cutthroat Trout/Bonneville, Mountain Whitefish, Rainbow Trout.

Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
Flood categories: action stage, minor, moderate and major flooding (National Weather Service)Flow above the record for this date. Higher than any daily mean USGS has recorded on this date at this gauge. Expect much higher, faster water than usual for the season.

What the agencies suggest
During periods of high water, fish move towards the banks to find calmer water and lower velocitiesPennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission
Wading and boating should be avoided if waters are running high and muddy and the streambed is not visiblePennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission
If stream conditions are not favorable, consider fishing at a lakePennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission

Highest for this date on record for this date. 268 ft³/s is above the highest daily mean recorded on this date of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 77 years of record (1950–2026): 10th 62, 25th 70, median 85, 75th 118, 90th 139 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 55 ft³/s, highest 222 ft³/s.
Classes as USGS labels them (hyswap: flow categories (WDFN_stats schema) (U.S. Geological Survey) ); percentiles from the USGS daily statistics (U.S. Geological Survey) (approved daily means; the reading is provisional and instantaneous).
Steady over 24 hours (−7.9% discharge). Rising or falling means a change of more than 10% in discharge (or 0.2 ft of gauge height) over 24 hours; our rule of thumb, not a USGS class.

Normal for Nov 5: 127–139 ft³/s (middle half of 25 years of record). Now: 141 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 141 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 25 years of record (2002–2026): 10th 122, 25th 127, median 134, 75th 139, 90th 155 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 119 ft³/s, highest 215 ft³/s.
Classes as USGS labels them (hyswap: flow categories (WDFN_stats schema) (U.S. Geological Survey) ); percentiles from the USGS daily statistics (U.S. Geological Survey) (approved daily means; the reading is provisional and instantaneous).
Steady over 24 hours (+0% discharge). Rising or falling means a change of more than 10% in discharge (or 0.2 ft of gauge height) over 24 hours; our rule of thumb, not a USGS class.
The National Weather Service has no flood-stage gauge here, so no official flood category is shown.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. Utah Division of Wildlife Resources publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Utah rule: 68°F.
Species the agency lists for Provo River: Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Cutthroat Trout/Bonneville, Mountain Whitefish, Rainbow Trout.

Turn Around Don't Drown. “A mere 6 inches of fast-moving flood water can knock over an adult.” No flow number makes a crossing safe; if in doubt, stay out.

Normal for Nov 5: 149–175 ft³/s (middle half of 35 years of record). Now: 159 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 159 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 35 years of record (1992–2026): 10th 89, 25th 149, median 163, 75th 175, 90th 197 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 61 ft³/s, highest 237 ft³/s.
Classes as USGS labels them (hyswap: flow categories (WDFN_stats schema) (U.S. Geological Survey) ); percentiles from the USGS daily statistics (U.S. Geological Survey) (approved daily means; the reading is provisional and instantaneous).
Steady over 24 hours (−1.2% discharge). Rising or falling means a change of more than 10% in discharge (or 0.2 ft of gauge height) over 24 hours; our rule of thumb, not a USGS class.
The National Weather Service has no flood-stage gauge here, so no official flood category is shown.
Federal guidance. Utah Division of Wildlife Resources publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Utah rule:
Under the federal 68°F line. Water 51.3°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 51.3°F. That is under the 68°F at which the National Park Service, at Grand Teton National Park, recommends anglers stop fishing in the afternoon (“cease fishing at 2 p.m. when water temperatures are likely to exceed 68°F”). Water warms through the afternoon, so check again later in the day: “Carry a pocket thermometer to monitor water temperature.”
High water temperatures prompt fishing advisory in Grand Teton National Park (29 July 2022) (National Park Service)Species the agency lists for Provo River: Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Cutthroat Trout/Bonneville, Mountain Whitefish, Rainbow Trout.

Cold water. Water 51.3°F. NWS: “Cold shock can be just as severe and dangerous from water temperatures of 50-60°F (10-15°C) as it is from water at 35°F (2°C).” “Always wear a life jacket in and around the water.”
Cold Water Hazards and Safety (National Weather Service)Turn Around Don't Drown. “A mere 6 inches of fast-moving flood water can knock over an adult.” No flow number makes a crossing safe; if in doubt, stay out.
Turn Around Don't Drown (National Weather Service)Guidance from the readings above and the published thresholds named with each line; not a fishing forecast, a safety guarantee or a statement about access. Local rules and closures come first.
Checked Nov 5, 4:54 PM MST; readings refresh at most every 15 minutes and statistics daily. Provisional USGS data can be revised. Conditions change: re-check before you go. This is general guidance, not a fishing forecast, a safety guarantee or a statement about access.
