About
Full day wade trips are popular throughout the year and allow anglers to leisurely prospect for trout at their own pace. We have a multitude of Utah rivers, lakes, and small streams that can be accessed at different times of the year. A multitude of stretches along a single river or multiple streams can be fished in one day. Anglers may cast dry flies to rising trout, nymph deep runs or strip streamers for aggressive trout. Your professional guide will be standing by your side to offer instructions, net fish and give any necessary assistance. A one-person full day wade trip is a great option for those looking to learn the sport of fly fishing or for advanced anglers looking to explore new water and refine their technique. Beginners benefit from the hands-on expert advice of their guides while experts can expand their skills with challenging fish throughout the day. For anglers who prefer the relaxing feeling of standing in the river or those who enjoy hiking into a scenic, remote location, the full day wade trip is the ideal choice. These fly-fishing2 trips run from 7 to 8 hours and include beverages, a stream-side lunch, fly rod and waders and terminal tackle. Fishing license and guide gratuity are not included.
