Fishing Charters in Salt Lake City

17 listings · ranked by rating & reviews · updated 2026

Fishing charters put you on the water with a licensed captain, a rigged boat and local knowledge of where the fish are running. The market splits by trip length and water: an inshore or half-day trip commonly runs about $400-600 for the boat, while an offshore or full-day deep-sea trip lands closer to $1,000-2,000. Most captains price by the boat rather than per person, so a group of four splits the cost, and many include rods, reels, bait and tackle - always ask what is covered and what you bring. Rates vary by port, season and target species, so compare a couple of operators and confirm trip details, pricing and availability directly with the operator before you book.

Below are 17 fishing charters listings in Salt Lake City, UT, ranked by Google review volume so you can start with the most established options and contact them directly. The most-reviewed is Bombshellpants (4.4★, 1,515 Google reviews).

FAQ

Fishing Charters in Salt Lake City - common questions

How many fishing charters are there in Salt Lake City? +
Lure Compass lists 17 listings for fishing charters in Salt Lake City, UT.
Who has the best-rated fishing charters in Salt Lake City? +
By Google review volume, Bombshellpants is the most-reviewed fishing charters listing in Salt Lake City (4.4★, 1,515 reviews). Rankings follow review count, not paid placement.
How much does a fishing charter cost? +
A half-day inshore charter typically runs about $400-600 for the boat, and a full-day offshore or deep-sea trip commonly lands between $1,000 and $2,000. Most captains price per boat, so the cost splits across your group. Rates vary by port, season and target species - confirm current pricing and availability with the operator.
Is fishing gear included on a charter? +
Most charters include rods, reels, bait and terminal tackle, and the captain usually carries the required vessel licenses. Coolers, food and drinks are commonly bring-your-own. Ask each operator exactly what is provided and what you should bring, along with their policy on keeping or releasing your catch.
How do I choose a fishing charter? +
Compare Google ratings and review counts across a few operators, check which species and waters they target and the trip length that fits you, and ask what the price includes. Reviews mentioning the captain by name are a good signal. Once you have a shortlist, confirm trip details, pricing and availability directly with the operator.
How much does a fishing guide cost in Salt Lake City? +
Guided trips out of Salt Lake City run about $400-$650. A half-day wade trip on the Provo is at the lower end, while a full-day float or a trip up to Strawberry Reservoir costs more. Rates are usually per boat for up to two anglers, so sharing brings the per-person price down. Confirm inclusions and license details with your guide.
What is the cicada hatch on the Provo River? +
In late spring and early summer, cicadas emerge along the Provo and get blown onto the water, triggering some of the year's best dry-fly fishing. Big brown trout that usually stay deep will smash these oversized terrestrials off the surface.
Can you catch salmon near Salt Lake City? +
Yes. Strawberry Reservoir holds kokanee salmon along with trophy cutthroat trout. The rivers themselves are trout fisheries, with the Provo and Weber holding wild brown and rainbow trout.
Do I need waders for a Provo River trip? +
For wade trips, waders are strongly recommended and most guides provide them along with rods and flies. You will also need a Utah fishing license, which the guide can help you sort out before you head to the water.
