The Lower Provo is excellent fishing all year long. Right now is actually perfect.
Directly below the Olmstead, there's a stretch with a lot of boulders. Hit that with black jigs or spinners (or worms) and you'll do well. I really like using Gulp minnows there (or anywhere).
The stretch between Canyon Glen park and Nunns Park is awesome. I really like it there.
Just below the Murdock Diversion, you can catch fish for quite awhile just throwing Gulps, jigs, or spinners. Easy stuff.
Right at the mouth of the canyon, there's another diversion with a big iron bridge crossing the river. Above and below that can be pretty good too.
On the Lower, anywhere you find a bridge will usually harbor some fish too (think of parks). Most people bypass the valley floor stretches, but they hold some great fish and plenty of them.
You're looking for spots to pull over and fish, then drive a little bit and repeat? That's exactly what the LoPro is through town.
Hit the stretch by DI in Provo, Riverwoods area, LDS Motion Picture Studio area, and even down by Geneva Road. The river is loaded.
You'll catch mostly dinks, but there are still great fish in it.
I even caught a rainbow this year on lunch break, near the LDS studio.
