Mike is an absolute pro!  He knows the river well and we caught a ton of fish.  A true western fly fishing guide who creates a top tier experience. Will definitely see Mike again on the next visit!  Amazing trip! Don’t think twice and book him!

We had a fantastic full day on the river with Mike.  Great experience from start to finish! We caught a lot of really nice fish.  Mike’s knowledge of the fishery and his enthusiasm were so much fun …. from the cast, to the eat, to the fight, to the net!  Second to none for us!   We know some other folks that have fished with Mike for several years and they feel the same way. Highly recommended!

Greatest fishing experience of my life. Even if you’ve been fishing your whole life or you’ve never held a rod before you’ll have a incredible experience. Can’t recommend enough

Life has been a total whirlwind lately, and honestly, the stress was starting to pile up. 😵‍💫 So, getting out on the river today for some much-needed R&R was an absolute dream. I haven’t been fishing since I was about 8 years old, so I was a little nervous, but Mike is a literal expert. Whether you’re a complete beginner (like me!) or a seasoned pro, his knowledge is unmatched. He made me feel so comfortable, patiently taught me the techniques, and by the end of the day, I actually caught several fish! 🎣 The best part? You don’t even need to worry about snapping photos. He documents the entire experience with amazing pictures and videos so you can just relax and fish. If you’re looking for an incredible experience or need a top-tier guide in Utah, you HAVE to check him out. Thank you for the best day Mike!

HIGHLY RECOMENDED.. Fly Fish With Me absolutely positively exceeded all of our expectations in every way. We had a larger party and weren't exactly sure how much time or teaching we would each get or even how it was going to all work. However guide Mike O Brian took the time to go through the fly fishing foundations and basics personally with each and every one of us. As true "beginners" we weren't exactly expecting to leave limited out on fish but within no time at all Mike had us spread out down the river fly fishing knee deep in beautiful crystal clear provo river and then it happened. One of us had caught a fish and after a quick probe to get the trouts food source identified Mike re tied all our fly rods with whatever he had discovered from this first and only fish and the next 4 hours my friends we will NEVER forget. It was just one after another after another. German Browns, and big healthy Rainbows Trout just nailing our fly rods. As someone who knows nothing about fly fishing with no experience with Rods, Reels or fish feeding habits I was definitely not expecting the day we all had. Then we hopped in the ultra light fly float boat which easily and comfortably seated all of us and Mike slowly guided us down the river while we all just nailed fish after fish. We even passed other fly fishing guides that knew our guide and plainly and (apparently) mandatory exchanged fish numbers, as we all yelled out excitedly seven, nine, five, all at the same time lol and hearing back "one" or "its slow today" we all just chuckled feeling fully satisfied that we had hired the foremost expert and master fly fisherman. Fly Fish With Me Utah is absolutely without doubt the best guided fishing experience and lesson I have ever had the pleasure of booking. All of their equipment and rods and even waiters were top of the line and that's not even mentioning the Fly Float Boat which is something fly fishing dreams are made out of. They even had all our shoe sizes and neoprene socks with Sims studded river boots..No expenses was spared. After booking guided fishing trips for the past 20 years MIKE O BRIAN at FLY FISH WITH ME UTAH is the only guide I will use in Utah and the surrounding Utah states. Absolute A++ Mike..We all left with our maximum limit on trout and soon returned to our cabin to smoke fresh fish and share stories about the one that did and didn't get away..Most memorable day I've had in years and left feeling fish full filled and satisfied. Our only regret was not booking the FULL DAY TRIP instead of the half day trip lol. If your looking for the BEST GUIDE with the BEST EQUIPMENT and FISHING IQ look no further than Fly Fish with Me Utah.. Thanks Mike for a truly memorable experience from all of us...

I booked a 1/2 day walk and wade with Levi Dunsey. The three of us ( my son, 16 yr old grandson and me) are somewhat inexperienced with fly fishing, and my grandson had never fly fished before. After a short tutorial from Levi, all of us were catching browns literally minutes after getting in the water. Levi had us working nymphs and dry flies intermittently throughout the morning. We had a great trip!! We learned a lot about stream fishing and will definitely book again!! We had a wonderful trip!!

Mike was great. Caught multiple 20” trout each day and was taught a lot. Absolutely would recommend anyone check him whether they are novice or experienced.

Had a great day on the Lower Provo with Mike O’Brien. He taught me the advantages of the bounce rig, and we worked to refine my setting so as to let the weight do its job and not move the rig out of the zone. Caught some nice Rainbows and Browns. I highly recommend Mike as a guide in Utah.

My first time fly fishing and I knew I wanted to go with Mike. He taught me really helpful technique for bounce rigging on the Provo. Caught a couple beautiful browns. I’m literally hooked on fly fishing now. Domo arigato sensei Mike!

My wife and I have fished with Mike on three separate trips to Utah, and each experience has been outstanding. Mike is an incredible guide and coach — patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping you become a better angler. His instruction is clear and easy to follow, and he always takes the time to explain why certain techniques work. What sets Mike apart is how he helps you identify what you’re doing right and what needs improving, so you leave each day more confident and capable on the water. I am a better fly fisherman today because of Mike, and I can’t recommend him highly enough to anyone looking to learn and grow in the sport.

Mike was excellent! I have fished with dozens of guides through the years and this trip was one of the best by far. Excellent knowledge and just an awesome day on the water. Thanks partner!

We had a great time with Mike! He and the other guide Todd took good care of everyone. We always had a line in the water and they even let us take a shot with dry fly. We will use him again!
