Book a guided trip→A day on the water between park days
Utah's five national parks are Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Arches and Canyonlands. A road trip through them is a lot of hiking, driving and viewpoints. A guided fishing day gives you a slower, different kind of day: a lake, a boat, and a local guide doing the planning.
A guided trip with Henrie Outfitters is a private full day charter with owner and guide James Henrie: up to 6 hours of fishing, so plan on about 8 hours with travel, depending on where you are coming from. Your boat, rods, tackle, bait and lures, life jackets, bottled water and ice are included, and fish are cleaned and bagged with ice if you want to keep them. Beginners, families and experienced anglers are all welcome.
The fishing is on lakes in the region, outside the parks. Check the National Park Service for the rules inside each park.
