Trout Fishing Utah | Backcountry Trips

If you’re searching for the ultimate trout fishing Utah experience, look no further than a fully guided, pack-in trip with Jake Bess Hunting. These 5-day adventures take you deep into Utah’s remote mountain streams and lakes—accessible only by mule—where wild trout and breathtaking scenery await.

Guided Trout Fishing Utah

The prime trout fishing season in Utah stretches from late May through early October, depending on snowpack and elevation. Our guided trips are timed to hit the peak conditions for dry fly and streamer fishing in crystal-clear mountain streams and lakes. Expect to target native Colorado River cutthroat trout, feisty brookies, and gorgeous Arctic Grayling in pristine, high-altitude waters in the Uinta mountains camp. Our Boulder mountain camp is home to an abundance of blue ribbon fisheries with a variety of trophy trout species and Arctic Grayling.

We focus our trips on some of Utah’s most productive and remote trout fisheries, including:

The Uinta Mountains – Known for rugged terrain and alpine lakes teeming with wild trout.
Boulder Mountain – Hidden creeks and remote lakes full of six species of trout and grayling in Southern Utah’s red rock country.

These fisheries offer both quantity and quality, with opportunities to land wild trout in wild places.
