Fishing Guides in Salt Lake City

12 listings · ranked by rating & reviews · updated 2026

Fishing guides are the specialists - independent pros and outfitters who focus on a specific fishery and style, from bass on a local lake to fly fishing a trout river or wading the flats. Where a charter is usually about the boat and the trip, a guide sells expertise and hands-on coaching, and typically runs a smaller, more personal operation. Day rates commonly fall around $300-600 depending on the water, target species and whether the trip is walk-and-wade or from a boat, often for one or two anglers. Many guides provide rods, flies or tackle and hold the required licensing - always ask what is included. Compare a few, read the reviews, and confirm trip details, pricing and availability directly with the guide.

FAQ

Fishing Guides in Salt Lake City - common questions

How many fishing guides are there in Salt Lake City? +
Lure Compass lists 12 listings for fishing guides in Salt Lake City, UT.
Who has the best-rated fishing guides in Salt Lake City? +
By Google review volume, All Seasons Adventures is the most-reviewed fishing guides listing in Salt Lake City (4.9★, 786 reviews). Rankings follow review count, not paid placement.
How much does a fishing guide cost? +
Guided trips commonly run about $300-600 for the day, with the price shaped by the fishery, target species, trip length and whether it is walk-and-wade or from a boat. Rates are usually for one or two anglers. Confirm current pricing, what is included and availability directly with the guide.
What is the difference between a guide and a charter? +
A charter generally centers on a captained boat and a set trip, often for larger groups, while a guide sells focused expertise in a specific fishery and style - bass, fly fishing, flats - typically for one or two anglers and sometimes on foot. The right fit depends on the water you want to fish and how hands-on you want the coaching.
How do I choose a fishing guide? +
Compare Google ratings and reviews, check that the guide specializes in the species and water you are after, and ask what gear is provided and what you bring. Reviews that name the guide and describe the coaching are a strong signal. Then confirm trip details, pricing and availability directly with the guide.
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.
