A cool morning lifts off the mirror of a mountain stream as a guide knots on a fly and coaches a first-time caster. The river ahead narrows through sage and aspen, current whispering and occasionally daring you to find the seam where trout feed. Whether you meet at a trailhead outside Park City or join the van from town, the day is built around finding water that best fits the group and the river’s mood.
