If you’d like to head out on the river on your own, the experts at Jans will be happy to tell you some great spots to try and they’ll hook you up with flies to match the current hatch. But, if you’d like to have a little insurance that you’ll have a great day fly fishing, join us for a half-day or full-day guided trip. The Jans guides can take you to the best (and generally less crowded) spots on the blue ribbon Provo River, or they can take you to the private waters of Thousand Peaks Ranch for some truly quiet and secluded fly fishing. Our guides spend almost every day on the river, so they know where the fish are hiding and what flies are getting strikes in any conditions.

Larry Culley, longtime Jans fly fishing guide, provides descriptions of our local rivers:
“The three rivers that we spend most of our time on at Jans are the tailwater flows [controlled rivers below a dam] of the Weber, Provo, and Strawberry. And while we do spend some time in freestone rivers, it’s the warmer tailwaters that provide the year round fishing and insect life that make for such ideal conditions. With trout feeding consistently year round, the result is bigger fish, and more of them.”
“The Weber is a great tailwater fishery that’s accessible year round. It’s predominantly wild brown trout that are being hooked, but the occasional rainbow and cutthroat are caught too. And while it may be lesser known than the Provo, the fish are just as big and pull just as hard.”
“The Provo is rated one of the top 100 fisheries in the US by Trout Unlimited for a reason. The wild brown trout in this river are strong and there’s plenty of them. With easy access from Park City, and such a high fish density, the Provo is a remarkably consistent fishery for our tours.
On top of that, tens of millions of dollars have been spent recently to undo the ‘straightening’ of the Provo that occurred in the ’50’s. With its meanders and wetlands restored, the Provo has thrived as a trout fishery. At one point there were so many fish in this river that they even reintroduced otters to add another predator to the mix.”
“The Strawberry is made up of two different tailwater stretches. The first is a deep and remote mountain canyon with very big fish in a very small stream. Simply put, it’s challenging fishing. But if you’re up for the challenge, this is the trip to take your fishing to the next level. The second reach is high desert. And again, it’s very challenging with big fish that aren’t easily fooled.
Either way, this isn’t your family-friendly fly fishing trip. I’ve even seen a mountain lion in broad daylight. But again, if you’re up to the test this river has the potential to land the fish of a lifetime.”
