River Fishing
Eight-hour guided Weber River fishing adventure for solo anglersAll equipment provided including rods, waders, flies and mealsExpert guidance targeting trout in Northern Utah scenic waters
Picture this: you've got eight solid hours on one of Northern Utah's most productive trout streams, with a seasoned guide who knows every pool, riffle, and undercut bank where the big browns like to hang out. That's exactly what you get with 801 Fly Fishing's whole day Weber River adventure. For $325, you're getting the full treatment – quality gear, expert instruction, and all the flies you'll need to fool these finicky fish. Plus, they'll keep you fed and hydrated all day so you can focus on what really matters: putting fish in the net.
The Weber River flows through some gorgeous country in Northern Utah, and this isn't your typical crowded weekend fishing spot. Your guide will have you working different water throughout the day – maybe starting with some technical dry fly fishing in the morning when the fish are looking up, then switching to nymphs when the sun gets high and the trout head deeper. The river has great variety, from pocket water where you'll need precise casts to longer pools where you can really work a fly through the entire drift. Since you're fishing solo with your guide, you'll get personalized attention on your casting, fly selection, and reading the water. Don't worry if you're not an expert – these guides know how to put you on fish regardless of your skill level. The waders and boots they provide are top-notch, so you'll stay dry and comfortable even when you're working those deeper runs where the bigger fish like to hold.
You'll be fishing with quality fly rods matched to the conditions – probably a 9-foot 5-weight that's perfect for the Weber's mix of water types. The guides carry a huge selection of flies, from local favorites like Prince nymphs and Pheasant Tails to seasonal hatches that get the browns really fired up. Expect to learn some new techniques throughout the day, whether that's high-sticking nymphs through the deeper holes, dead-drifting dry flies along undercut banks, or maybe even some streamer fishing if the conditions are right. The Weber can fish well with different approaches, and your guide will adjust the game plan based on what's working. They'll also teach you how to read the water better – spotting the subtle current seams and depth changes that hold fish. The chest waders they provide will let you get into position for the best drifts, and the felt-soled boots give you solid footing on the Weber's rocky bottom.
Brown trout are the stars of the Weber River show, and for good reason – these fish are absolutely gorgeous and fight like crazy. The browns here typically run 12 to 18 inches, with some real bruisers pushing into the 20-inch range if you know where to look and what to throw at them. These fish are notoriously smart and spooky, especially the bigger ones that have seen plenty of flies over the years. They love structure – you'll find them tucked under overhanging banks, behind boulders, or in the deeper pools where the current slows down. Fall is prime time for browns since they're getting aggressive before spawning, but they bite year-round if you present the right fly properly. What makes hooking a Weber River brown so special is their fighting ability – they'll make long runs, jump clear out of the water, and use every trick in the book to throw your fly. Plus, their coloration is stunning, with those distinctive red and black spots and golden flanks that really pop in the clear mountain water.
Eight hours of guided fishing on a world-class trout stream, complete with gear, flies, and food – that's serious value for any angler looking to up their game or just enjoy a full day on beautiful water.

The solo format means you get the guide's complete attention, so you'll learn more and catch more fish than you would in a larger group.
