Locations to go fly fishing in Utah

Utah's diverse landscapes provide a range of fly fishing spots, each offering its own unique fishing experience. Here are some of the top locations:

Provo River

Provo River, especially its middle and lower sections, has an abundant trout population. Here, you can catch brown and rainbow trout almost year-round. The best times to visit are spring and fall when the hatches are abundant, making the trout more active and easier to catch.

Green River

Below the Flaming Gorge Dam, the Green River carves through a stunning canyon landscape. This location is famous for its large and plentiful rainbow and brown trout. Fly fishing here is excellent throughout the year, but the peak season is from April to October, aligning with major insect hatches.

Boulder Mountain

Boulder Mountain's numerous lakes and streams are a hidden treasure for fly fishermen. Home to brook, rainbow, and cutthroat trout, the best time to visit is during the summer months when the high elevation areas become easily accessible, and the fish are more active.

Logan River

Logan River offers a serene and less crowded fishing experience. Known for its healthy populations of brown and cutthroat trout, the best fishing seasons are spring and fall. The river's accessibility and scenic views add to its charm.

Weather in Utah

Utah's weather varies significantly throughout the year, and this variation plays an important role in the fly fishing experience. Spring brings mild temperatures and increased insect activity, making it one of the best times for fly fishing. Summer can get quite warm, especially in lower elevation areas, but higher elevations like Boulder Mountain offer good fishing conditions. Fall sees cooler temperatures and active fish, making it another prime season for fly fishing. Winters can be harsh, with snow and cold temperatures, especially in mountainous areas, so it's best to focus your fly fishing in the other seasons.
