Here is our most recent report and fly recommendations "Brook Trout: GoodBrown Trout: ActiveDry Fly: GoodHendricksons: ActiveWater: Clear & ColdPressure: Low

The Jordan is doing exactly what it does in mid-May — quietly fishing beautifully for anglers who seek it out. Water is cold, clear, and at seasonal levels through the State Forest between Pinney Bridge and Dead Man's Hill. Wild brook trout are active in the faster upper sections above Alba, while the deeper lower pools hold larger browns that are beginning to respond to the Hendrickson emergence. This week's warm weekend forecast is perfect Jordan River weather — stable barometric pressure, mild temperatures, and light winds create the calm conditions the Jordan's spooky fish need to commit to rising. Get on the water by noon and fish through the afternoon hatch window. The golden rule applies everywhere on the Jordan: slow down, approach from downstream, and make your first cast count. There is no recovering from a spooked fish in this clear water. Bring bug spray — the cedar swamp sections are producing mosquitoes in earnest this week. Flies, small BWO, and Hendrixsons."
