A Day on the Provo

Picture this: You're standing knee-deep in the cool, clear waters of the Provo, surrounded by rugged canyon walls and towering pines. The only sounds are the gentle rush of the river and maybe an osprey calling overhead. Our guides will lead you to some of the most productive holes and runs, where wild trout are eager to take a well-presented fly. We keep things laid-back, moving at whatever pace suits you best. Want to work on your roll cast? We've got you covered. Prefer to post up in one spot and methodically work a seam? No problem. This trip is all about giving you the best possible day on the water, tailored to your interests and skill level.

Tactics for Trout

The Provo is known for its technical fishing, but don't let that intimidate you. Our guides are pros at breaking down the water and helping you present flies effectively. We'll likely start with nymphing, using a strike indicator to drift flies like Pheasant Tails or Hare's Ears through likely holding spots. As the day warms up, we might switch to dry-dropper rigs to cover our bases. If we're lucky, we'll hit a hatch and get to experience some of that surface action the Provo is famous for. Blue-winged olives, midges, and caddis are all on the menu. We provide all the gear you need, from top-quality rods and reels to a carefully curated selection of flies that match what the fish are keyed in on.

What Anglers Are Saying

"Trevor was amazing! We were on fish with dry and nymph rigs! Was a great experience!" - Justin
"Trevor was awesome, entirely on point the whole day. He put us right on the fish including a couple 22 in. Browns. Would highly recommend him for anyone wanting to fish the Provo River. Will definitely book again!" - John
"Trevor was great and worked hard to get us on some fish. Tough day on the river due to incredible pressure and we still were able to catch some fish." - Allan

Fish You'll Want to Hook

Brown Trout: The kings of the Provo, these beautiful fish are known for their spotted flanks and powerful fights. Browns in the 16-20 inch range are common, with some real trophies pushing well into the 20s. They can be selective, often preferring natural drifts and smaller flies. Fall is prime time for big browns as they get aggressive before the spawn, but you can tangle with them year-round. There's nothing quite like watching a big brown trout slowly rise to sip your dry fly off the surface.

Rainbow Trout: While not as numerous as the browns, the Provo's rainbows are absolute gems. These acrobatic fish love to put on a show, often leaping clear out of the water when hooked. They tend to hold in faster water than browns and are suckers for well-presented nymphs. Expect most rainbows to be in the 12-16 inch range, but don't be surprised if you hook into a chunky 18-incher. Spring and early summer can be particularly good for targeting rainbows as they key in on hatching insects.
