The Provo River is considered to be one of the premier "Blue Ribbon" fly fishing rivers in the Western United States. With the immense population of Browns, Rainbows, and Cutthroat trout, this river has quickly become one of the most sought after fly fishing destinations in Utah. A short 40 minute drive from Salt Lake City ensures plenty of fishing time for you, your friends, and family. The Provo River is extremely "user friendly" with plenty of good access for kids of all ages and for guests with special needs.

Whether you are a seasoned fisherman, or your coming out for your first fly fishing adventure, let Intermountain Guide Service give you an experience that could not only net you the biggest trout you've ever caught, but one that could literally change your life.
Upper Section of the Provo River
The upper section begins high in the Uintah Mountain range at Trial Lake. Starting as a small mountain stream, it slowly grows larger over the next 36 miles as it runs into the Jordanelle Reservoir.
This section holds native Cutthroat, German Brown, Rainbow, and Brook trout. This section is a well kept secret that recieves light pressure and holds plenty of fish.
At the foot of the Uintah Mountains this is one of the most beautiful areas in Utah. If you are looking for a quiet and relaxing getaway this is the place for you.
Middle Section of the Provo River
The middle section of the “Provo” runs from the Jordanelle Reservoir down to Deer Creek Reservoir. With approximately 9 miles of river between the two reservoirs, slowly meandering through open meadows.
This section is currently undergoing exciting new changes. It is being restored to its original riverbed, with rehabilitation of surrounding wetlands and an extensive re-vegetation project. This 5-year project is one of the most exciting rehabilitation projects ever done in U.S. history.
Fish have already moved back in to reconstructed stretches, looking bigger and healthier than ever! By the year 2005, the Utah Division of Wildlife is projecting a new, 12-mile section of river that will boast up to 5,000 fish per river mile.
Although construction started in 1999, there is still plenty of good fishing on the middle, which is why it’s so popular with our guests! This section holds beautiful Browns, Rainbows, Cutthroats, and Mountain Whites.
Lower Section of the Provo River
The lower section is the most recognized section of the Provo river. This section runs out of Deer Creek Reservoir and drops through Provo Canyon. The first 9 miles of this section is known as the “Blue Ribbon Trout Stream of the Wasatch Front”, which boasts an amazing 4,500 fish per river mile.
