It was a beautiful spring day in Provo, Utah, perfect for a peaceful wade fishing trip on the Provo River. I met up with Ethan and one other guest at 8:00 am to kick off our 4-Hour Wade Fishing adventure with Provo River Fly Fishing Guides. The weather was just about perfect - partly cloudy throughout the day, with a nice cool breeze keeping things comfortable as we hit the water.

We started off working some of the prime fly fishing runs, looking to entice some hungry trout to rise to our flies. The conditions were fantastic, with clear, great water that allowed us to spot fish holding in the deeper pockets and seams. While we didn't manage to hook into anything right away, it was just great to be out on the river, taking in the peaceful scenery and enjoying some quality time on the water. I showed the guys some of my favorite fly fishing techniques, and they were picking it up quick, making some nice casts and working the water methodically.

After a while, the action started picking up, and we began connecting with some feisty Trout. Nothing huge, but the fish were putting up a great fight on our lightweight fly rods. It was just one of those days where the fishing was steady, with enough action to keep us engaged without ever feeling too hectic. We rotated through different flies and presentation styles, reading the water and adjusting our approach to find what the fish wanted. By the time our trip wrapped up, we'd had a great time on the river, with plenty of laughs and some nice fish to show for our efforts.

If you're looking to experience some of the best fly fishing Utah has to offer, I'd highly recommend booking a 4-Hour Wade Fishing trip with Provo River Fly Fishing Guides. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting into the sport, we'll make sure you have an amazing time on the water, with top-notch gear, proven techniques, and the kind of scenic, peaceful setting that makes fly fishing so special. The Provo River is truly a gem, and we can't wait to share it with you. So what are you waiting for? Book your trip today and let's get you out on the water!

Trevor Nicolaides is a Utah native who has spent most of his life fly fishing the state’s iconic waters, including the well-known Blue Ribbon stretches of the Provo River. His fly fishing journey began at just 13 years old, when he gained national recognition after being published in Fly Fish America for developing a highly effective trout pattern. That early achievement led to a successful fly tying career, supplying patterns to shops across Wyoming and clients throughout the country under his brand, The Fly Ty Guys. As a guide, Trevor brings more than two decades of fly fishing knowledge to the water. His foundation in fly tying provides a deep understanding of insect life, fish behavior, and matching patterns to local conditions. Trevor’s thoughtful and precise approach to the sport helps anglers improve their skills and confidence on the river. Whether you’re learning to read water, select the right fly, or perfect your drift, Trevor is committed to helping guests have a rewarding and educational day outdoors. Trevor specializes in wade fishing techniques, offering guests an up-close connection to the river while teaching them how to move through current, position themselves effectively, and make the most of each cast. His calm and patient guidance helps anglers at all experience levels get more out of their time on the water. With a focus on technique, safety, and stewardship of the river, Trevor’s trips are designed to be both enjoyable and enriching. Rather than using a traditional boat, Trevor’s trips are based around guided wade fishing along accessible and productive stretches of Utah’s rivers and mountain canyons. This allows for a more hands-on experience and creates more opportunities for learning, observation, and success. The gear is thoughtfully chosen for each outing, and the day’s location is selected based on season, water flow, and the needs of the guest. Whether targeting Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, Brook Trout, or Mountain Whitefish, guests can expect a well-organized and professional outing led by someone who knows these waters inside and out.
