Boulder Mountain Fly Fishing provides guided fly fishing trips to the many lakes and streams of southern Utah's Boulder Mountain and the surrounding area. Boulder Mountain is a huge densely forested plateau with fantastic views of Capitol Reef National Park to the east and the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument / Escalante River Canyons to the south.

Arguably the best fly fishing in southern Utah, Boulder Mountain is even regarded by many anglers as the last great place for fly fishing adventure in the western United States. If you are looking for a guided fly fishing trip to southern Utah, this is the place that most fly fishers can only dream about, with outstanding cutthroat trout and brook trout. Guided fly fishing on Boulder Mountain is what we have been doing for more than two decades. No other local outfitter knows the lakes and streams of Boulder Mountain as well.

The first opportunity for a guided fly fishing trip on Boulder Mountain is in April. Much of the Boulder Mountain is still covered with snow and the high elevation remote lakes are still iced over in early April. But near the town of Boulder at a much lower elevation than the Boulder Mountain the ice is gone by the first week of March. The opportunity to cast to trophy sized wild rainbow and brown trout on private waters is a welcome change from winter. There are also very fine small streams , some with private access that are definitely fishable as early as the first week of March. April through May is a perfect time for fly fishing on one of several local small streams. The trout in these streams are all wild browns and rainbows.

This is a scene from one of the 70 fishable lakes on the Boulder Mountain and the Aquarius Plateau shot on October 5, 2011. The weather is still mild in October and the lakes are currently ice free. At this date there are still more than three weeks left in the official fishing season for the lakes of Boulder Mountain. Most lakes are closed to fishing beginning November 1, 2011. In the image below you can just feel the delight of this happy angler as he has successfully landed another large tiger trout!

Late May through June is prime time to fly fish for native cutthroat and tiger trout in the lakes of Boulder Mountain. Later in the summer and into fall, from July all the way through October large brookies and tigers are biting.

These fantastic fish are also found in many of the lakes and beaver ponds on Boulder Mountain...for those who know where to look. If you would enjoy an opportunity to catch huge tigers or extremely large brookies like these, don't wait any longer. There are just two weeks left in the 2011 season. Call today to make a reservation.

The wild trout that you will view on this website were caught and released in the area around the town of Boulder and on nearby Boulder Mountain and the Aquarius Plateau. The brook trout shown on this website are fish that were caught and released from local lakes and beaver ponds. These are without a doubt some of the largest wild brook trout found anywhere on public land in the United States. They are also perfect examples of what you can expect to catch with a fly rod in the course of a day of guided fly fishing on Boulder Mountain. There are brook trout on the Boulder Mountain that will surpass the current state record of seven and one half pounds. It is just a matter of time before one comes to the net!

Brookies are not the biggest fish found here. Tiger trout and splake grow much larger, like the fish in the image below. This beautiful male splake in bright spawning colors weighed eleven and one half pounds. Make that call soon before this unique opportunity passes you by .....again!

Boulder is on Scenic Byway 12 midway between Escalante [28 miles] and Torrey [35 miles].This beautiful paved highway runs from the junction with Highway 89 near Bryce Canyon National Park to the junction with Highway 24 near Capitol Reef National Park. If you are planning to visit both of these national parks you will be driving through the town of Boulder. A variety of lodging and dining accommodations are available in the area.There are also opportunities for  Upscale Lodging and  Fine Dining in Boulder.
