Falling. The lake is down 0.02 ft in 24 hours and down 0.05 ft over the week. Over the last 8 days it has held between 3.74 and 3.83 ft. Every figure here is a difference between two gauge readings, not a forecast — what the level does next depends on rain and on what the dam releases.

Can you eat the fish you catch in Provo River?

That is a health question, and it is answered officially rather than by us. Utah Department of Environmental Quality publishes the fish consumption advisory covering these waters, where organised by contaminant and applying to named species and waters, with most Utah waters carrying no advisory at all. Read it before you keep a meal — we give no eating advice.

What size fish can you keep in Utah?

It depends on the species, and several have slot limits rather than a simple minimum. Open to harvest today: trout, kokanee salmon and arctic grayling (a combined total), largemouth and smallmouth bass, black and white crappie (a combined total), channel catfish. Seasons here change mid-year by agency order, so the status is re-checked every morning.
