I'd really appreciate some advice. I'm planning a surprise trip to Salt Lake City for my husband's birthday Oct. 23-26, mostly to attend a concert in Wendover. But also to do a little hiking, etc.
I was thinking about booking a fly-fishing day trip, possibly on the Provo River, preferably not too far from Salt Lake City. He won't have his equipment or flies so it would need to be a guided trip. We used to live at Canyon Lake, TX and he fished (waded) the Guadalupe River below Canyon Dam at Trout Unlimited leases. I think he'd enjoy a little challenge, but he'd be happy just catching some fish.
Any guide recommendations? Wading trip or float trip? Half day or full day? And I realize conditions are always changing but, on the average, is late October too late in the season? Some outfitters online have fly fishing trips year round but I think this forum might be better for honest advice. Thanks for your help!
