Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a fishing license?
Yes. They can be purchased online here.
Non-Resident 3 day licenses are $28 for a 3 day license. $46 for a 7 day license for any age. Licenses should be downloaded on your phone.
What trip should I select in the spring of 2024?
As of June 3, 2024, recommend float trips on the Provo River. Remote river and streams trips are either walk and wade or float trips. With very high water levels due to spring runoff, it will likely be July before we will be offering walk and wade trips on the Provo River. While this is not conducive and potentially unsafe for ‘Walk & Wade’ trips, it is exceptional for float trips. Your safety and success are paramount so if conditions change, expect us to communicate current conditions.
Remote walk and wade trips are another great way to find water that isn’t experiencing the peak runoff flows with very successful catching days. They are booked as full day trips.
We expect walk-able flows to resume beginning of July on the Provo River, but it will depend upon water being released from the dams.
What is your client to guide ratio?
Our client to guide ratio is set at 2:1, but we can do 1:1 trips as well. This allows for the best experience for the clients and guides, while keeping everyone safe. Odd group numbers reflect an additional guide in the rates.
What do I need to bring?
There are a couple things that are a must; hats and sunglasses (polarized preferred). Beyond that, dress for the weather.
Late fall thru spring: Water temperatures are mid 50’s. Spending hours in the water will definitely make most people cold. Wool socks, and warm underlayers are a great way to enjoy the river.
Spring and summer: Sunscreen & water is strongly encouraged.
