Filled with opportunities for outdoor enjoyment, Park City offers families many chances to experience the great outdoors. If you want to introduce your kids to fly fishing and share the sport, this is a beautiful location for a family fly fishing trip.

To find the best fishing experience, you'll want to explore these destinations. 

Provo River

Locals and visitors love the Provo River, which is highly accessible by car and sits just 20 minutes from Old Town. The Provo River meanders past Park City to the town's east and south, through two reservoirs, across flatland stretches, and among the tumbling cascades and sleek, flat-water holes of Provo Canyon. 

You'll find a good population of brown trout in the Lower Provo, with some rainbow trout mixed in. If you spend a lot of time nymphing, you can also catch a few mountain whitefish.

Strawberry River

If you're in the mood for a scenic trip into what feels like wilderness but don't have time to get far from Park City, head to the Strawberry River. It may be a more remote option than many places, but it has spectacular scenery and high-quality fishing.

Weber River

Park City's Weber River is a peaceful, uncrowded fishing spot great for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of life. Whether you snag the occasional brook trout closer to the mouth of the river or land some hefty brown trout, it's a great way to spend your weekends this summer.

The answer for the best places to fly fishing in Park City depends on how experienced you and your children are. Overall, this is a great way to bond with kids, especially outdoors. It's also helpful to ask questions of local fishers or the people at the tackle shop where you purchase your gear. Keep in mind that if you take up fly fishing, it may become one of your favorite sports, so it's best to brush up on the basics before taking the plunge with kids.

Consider stopping by Jan’s Mountain Outfitters or Trout Bum 2 in town. Both have excellent gear and fly selections, friendly and knowledgeable staff, maps, etc.
