Fly fishing can be a great summer job and eventually a fantastic career path. You can either work for a business or you can branch out as an independent guide. There's certainly profits to gain here, particularly if you are passionate and you are a skilled fisherman.

The Lower Provo runs from the Deer Creek Reservoir downstream through limestone walled Provo Canyon existing into Utah Valley where it meanders through the city until it reaches Utah Lake.

The absolute best way to learn how to fly fish is to hire a guide, and not just any guide, but a guide who likes to teach, is a good communicator, and is patient. You will learn more in one day with a good “teaching guide” than you will fishing twice a week on your own for months on end.
