Provo River is a public river in Wasatch County and Summit County, Utah, managed by Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. You can fish it on a Utah fishing licence — there is no separate trout stamp. Under Utah’s 2010 Public Waters Access Act you may float and fish where the river crosses private land, but you may NOT touch the streambed or bank without permission; legal wade access is on public land, at bridges and road crossings, and on the stretches with a public-access easement or Walk-In Access agreement. Blue Ribbon and cutthroat-conservation reaches carry their own tackle and bag rules. Public access confirmed via marquee water.
A larger Utah freestone river (the Weber, Ogden, lower Provo, Logan) — wild brown and rainbow trout with cutthroat and mountain whitefish, tailwater-influenced in places, with Blue Ribbon reaches and heavy access pressure near the Wasatch Front.
It runs roughly 15 miles through the Northern Region region. Anglers here mostly fish for bonneville cutthroat trout, rainbow trout. The nearest other mapped waters on PiscaMaps are Alexander Lake and Lambert Meadow Lake.

Night fishing: No statewide night-fishing closure in Utah; a few waters have seasonal or hourly restrictions (spawning closures, some community ponds and state-park waters) — check the current Utah Fishing Guidebook for the specific water.
Boats: The big reservoirs (Flaming Gorge, Lake Powell, Strawberry, Bear Lake, Jordanelle, Willard Bay, Deer Creek, Starvation) take trailered boats via a state-park or Forest Service ramp; mountain lakes are car-top or hike-in and rivers are drift-boat or wade. Utah has a serious quagga-mussel problem — every boat must be inspected and, if it has been on Lake Powell, decontaminated, and all boaters must complete the mussel-aware course and pay the AIS fee.
Bank & bivvy camping: Roughly two-thirds of Utah is federal land — dispersed camping is allowed on most BLM and Forest Service ground along these waters, plus developed state-park and Forest Service campgrounds on nearly every major reservoir. Some Wasatch Front canyon watersheds (Little/Big Cottonwood, City Creek, Parleys) ban all camping and dogs.
Tackle: The general Utah trout limit is 4, but many waters carry reduced limits, slot limits, artificial-only or catch-and-release rules -- the Green River, the Provo, Blue Ribbon water and the cutthroat-conservation streams especially -- and native chub, sucker, Colorado pikeminnow, bonytail and June sucker must be released. Check the current Utah Fishing Guidebook.
Camping: 20 sites mapped nearby — Shady Dell Campground, Site 15, Site 8, Site 11, Site 16, Site 12 and others.

Anyone 12 or older needs a Utah fishing licence — the resident annual is about $40, the non-resident annual about $100, with 1-day (~$16 resident / ~$25 non-resident), 3-day and 7-day options. There is no separate trout stamp. Children under 12 fish free (or on a $5 youth licence to keep their own limit). Buy from the Division of Wildlife Resources at wildlife.utah.gov. A Utah fishing licence covers this water — it is on the UDWR stocking programme.
Every water carries species, bank & boat access, current regulations and live water conditions — and members get Swim Mapper, Catch Logger and Trip Planner. It's the only US map with a dedicated carp-water layer.
