Planning Ideas & Timing
March & April – Meet your guide by driving 45 minutes from west Zion/Mt Carmel to Panguitch, Utah and from there several great options exist. From east Zion/Springdale/Virgin, drive 1.5 hours to meet your guide in Beaver.
May to July – The prime season allows us numerous options, active fish and memorable days on the water. Early morning departures produce the best results and mid-day will slow down with afternoon temperatures. Evenings are amazing on high elevation stream waters with prolific Caddis and Mayfly emergences.
August to September – Better fishing requires early mornings or late evenings, higher elevations almost exclusively and a bit more patience. Guides generally avoid mid-day temperatures which is why we recommend half day guided trips.
September to November – Prime season is back and so are the active trout. Similar time frame to spring are driving 45 minutes from west Zion/Mt Carmel to Panguitch, Utah and from there several great options exist. From east Zion/Springdale/Virgin, drive 1.5 hours to meet your guide in Beaver.
