The Provo River offers a premier blue ribbon trout fishery close to
Utah's major cities. Brown and rainbow trout reach record lengths in the
Provo, with a typical fish running 17 inches or bigger. One of the
largest fish caught on the Provo was over 30 pounds! In some areas of
the Provo, 7,500 trout are found per square mile. As a result, the
pristine waters of the Provo River provide exceptional exhilaration and
outdoor adventure! The Provo River is only a 15-minute drive from Provo,
or an hour and a half from Salt Lake City. |
