Fishing can be fair on stretches of the river. It has a couple factors working against being better. Summer water flow is an issue. Through town there is often very little water flow during the hot summer months. It also gets fairly heavy pressure in spots.
Prior to whirling disease, the DWR actually used to stock trout in the river. They stopped doing that so the only trout now are self-reproducing browns.
With the greater focus on community fisheries, I have hoped that the DWR would again stock trout in waters like the Provo River. It would provide greater opportunity for lots of young anglers who currently have limited access to fishing spots.
Best spots to fish are typical trout feeding and resting habitat. You can see fish rising in most of the spots on almost any evening.
