Utah Cutthroat Trout caught on a guided fly fishing 5 day trip.
Native Utah trout. The cutthroat, the trout that is native to Utah trout waters. They are only found in a limited number of Utah's rivers and streams, as well as lakes. For information on where they can be found contact Park City Excursions Fly Fishing oufitter, or check the Utah wildlife fishing proclamation, which outlines which fisheries harbor this beautiful wild trout species.
Terry waiting to hit the trail and pound some big Fish in water/ high water Cuttbows, browns, and Cutthroat trout. We were diverted from are main plan, which took us up into some pretty steep terrain, which paid off as once your back in there you have the fishery to yourself, no one else is crazy enough to press on, only the addiction of fly fishing entices one to reach around the next bend despite the inherent risks.
Native Utah Cutthroat trout caught in 2010. Beautiful fish, however they are only found in some Utah fisherys, and there numbers are low when compared to Brown and Rainbow trout. Brown trout are the hardiest of the species, and thrive in most Utah rivers, streams and lakes. This was a huge fish caught off the side of the road on our way up to drift the Missouri river up north. The ironic part is that this was one of the biggest fish and by far the most stunning caught just outside of Utah.Luckily the water was crystal clear giving me the ability to capture a fair amount of detail.
Tim, yesterdays client in from San Jose California, hooked and landed some trophy size Wild trout. We fished on the Lower Provo river near Sundance resort. We really had a blast and got some good pics and footage. Park City Excursions "Utah Fly Fishing At it's Best"

Utah Fly fishing during the winter month of January 2011, which in fact was Park City Excursions first guided fly fishing trip of 2011. Doug and I decided to take our Park City clients to a favorite section of ours on the lower Provo River. The day turned out to be an incredible day to do some winter fly-fishing despite the frigid temperature, which if properly equipped with adequate gear pose no problem at all. There are many misconceptions about winter fly fishing to the river freezes over and how could anyone survive in water in January. Which is understandable, but when thought about logically we every other winter sport is done in snow which by nature is colder than than water that is below freezing. despite the temperatures, which were well below freezing.  it was a clear sunny beautiful day, and the fact the trout were biting, kept us from thinking or even feeling the cold weather bite, as well as being prepared with correct gear for the conditions. In fact, we had  two drag two of the clients literally off the water as they were the Provo river bug had made its way into there minds dreading the idea they had to leave fish yet to be hooked and landed. Unfortunately the trip was cut short as they had new guests arriving to Park City later that afternoon that needed to be picked up from Salt Lake City international airport. The day was a success and these guys had just purchased a home in Deer Valley and surely will be back to the Provo as soon as they get the opportunity. These guys were troopers in town from Puerto Rico which was fun for me and gave me the opportunity communicate with them in Spanish another great passion of mine. As you will see from the photos we had a great day, and had the Provo river to our self which was a treat in of it self.. I did end up with my paws in the Provo river on a few occasions and that took a few hours to regain feeling in the tips of my fingers, but other than that, which when fishing in January, let the guide do the fish handling, it was a fantastic day to be out fly fishing Utah's most well known blue ribbon fishery, located in close proximity to downtown Park City. Twenty to thirty minutes depending on where you decide to spend your time fishing. A winter fly fishing excursion on the Provo, Weber or any other Utah fishery is highly recommended and often times if you are looking for a break from the slopes, to give the knees and legs a rest, additionsly to add diversity and see more of what the majestic Wasatch  mountains have to offer, fly-fishing is a top rated choice.
