fishery that originated in 1963 with the completion of Lake Powell. The river slices through the Paria Plateau and is bordered by towering vertical sandstone cliffs, more than 1,000 feet tall; the river twists and turns through a magnificent landscape which is the last vestige of Glen Canyon, the rest of which was submerged by Lake Powell. The crystal clear water is a constant 50 degrees throughout the year and supports what is likely the largest wild trout population (last stocked in the 1990's) of any western river, the trout are counted by the thousands per mile. We fish year-round for rainbow trout and depending on the time of the year, we sight cast to sub-surface feeding fish while wading the shallow riffles and runs or drift out of the boat casting dries or nymph rigs. The only access to the upriver section is by powerboat, the is a walk and wade section of the river that has easy walk-in access or more than a mile.
