  I can't say enough good things about Mike. Within minutes, you feel like you're out fishing with an old friend or family member. Mike has a wealth of knowledge, a great teaching style, and is a master in his craft. I would gladly recommend his guide business to anyone interested in fly fishing.

  I have a question can you just fish there with a fishing rod not a fly pole ?

  My friend and I just got back from fishing the lower and middle Provo River with Guide Mike O’Brien. The whole experience was incredible and the fishing unreal. We caught and released around 30 rainbows and browns per day averaging from 14 inches to some in excess of 20”.

Mike is an incredible guide who showed tremendous patience working with folks that had minimal experience fishing these type of rivers. Based on Mike taking the time to work us, we were able to turn fishing into catching.

I would highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for a guide to fish in Utah. His experience and knowledge are second to none. We are already planning our next trip and look forward to having Mike as our guide.

  Can’t explain the the day I had with Mike in words. But I’ll try.  Outstanding in every way possible. Knows exactly what he’s doing and prepares for it. Makes sure you are taken care of. And wants you to have as much enjoyment as he does. Sharing his passions with others shows!!  He loves seeing you have a great time!  If you are even thinking of fly fishing. Getting a day with him would be worth it!!  Had an absolute blast with him. Conversation, learning, and listening to what he had to say. Pretty sure if I’d still be out with him if I didn’t have to go home.

  Mike is the best guide on the water. Not only is he humble and helpful, he has years of unmatched knowledge and experience. If you want to have one of the best days of your life on the water, I highly recommend you book through him. He helped me hook into what were probably the 3 biggest fish I have ever hooked on the Lower Provo.

  Michael is an incredible guide with passion for fly fishing and the outdoors. He is an excellent instructor who patiently worked with me until I was comfortable with my casting. He diligently made certain my weights were correct to match the current. He possesses encyclopedic knowledge about not only the technical aspects of fishing but also wildlife behavior. You will learn a ton and catch many fish with him. I look forward to booking with him again.

  My college age son and I had a great trip to the Provo with Mike today. Mike knows what he’s doing, he’s a great, patient coach, he’s got good bs, and he put us on some good fish. It was a great morning. Will definitely call Mike again!

  Had a great experience. Mike got me on several fish and made the entire experience fun and easy. He took care of everything but let me take part in whatever I wanted to.

  Mike is top of his game. He is easy to be around, extremely patient and helpful. Mike is super knowledgeable about pretty much everything outdoors. Most importantly he will put you on the fish!! I had a blast and can’t wait to get on the river some more.
