Welcome to High Country Fly Fishers
HCFF is a proud Trout Unlimited chapter dedicated to fly fishing, conservation, and community in the scenic beauty of Park City, Utah serving Summit and Wasatch counties. HCFF is a member of the Park City Chamber of Commerce. Since 1989, we’ve been passionate about protecting cold-water fisheries, supporting healthy trout populations, and sharing the art of fly fishing and fly tying. Our club offers hands-on conservation projects with the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources , Trout-in-the-Classroom programs for local students, and monthly fishouts where members enjoy camaraderie and refine their fly fishing skills on some of the region’s best waters. Join us at our our monthly meetings to hear from expert fishing guides, fly tyers, and fisheries biologists from across the West. Whether you’re an experienced angler or just starting out, HCFF offers friendship, learning opportunities, and memorable fishing adventures. Check our Activities page for details and upcoming events—new members and visitors are always welcome!

Upcoming HCFF Outings
Island Park Outing
Island Park October 15-19th is our last outing of the year. High Country Fly Fishers will return to Island Park for our Ninth Annual IP Fishout.
There are many lodging options in the area. The Lakeside Lodge, located 320 miles north of Park City, has rooms, cabins, RV spaces, dry camping sites, a restaurant, and a bar.
The Sawtelle Mountain Resort also has rooms, cabins, and RV spaces and is perhaps more conveniently located to fishing destinations to the north. Henry’s Lake State Park is also a convenient location for RVing or camping.
Fishing opportunities include the Henry’s Fork, Madison, Firehole, and Warm Rivers; Henry’s, Sheridan, Island Park, Hebgen, and Quake Lakes; and numerous creeks and streams.
If you are interested in potentially floating one of the rivers with a guide, we encourage you to contact Henry’s Fork Anglers or Trout Hunter. Both shops have supported HCFF with speakers and donations, so be sure to tell them that HCFF appreciates their support.
Be aware that depending on where you fish, you may need multiple fishing licenses. Island Park is in Idaho, and other waters like Hebgen and Quake Lakes are in Montana. Yellowstone National Park, while it spans land in Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho requires its own license. So, make sure you have the correct fishing licenses for the waters you intend to fish.

Electrofishing the Lower Provo River with Mike Slater, UDWR
If you have never participated in electrofishing, this is your chance. You will find 20-inch browns in places where you “knew” there were no fish!
On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, Oct. 27th-30th, UDWR will be electrofishing four sites on the Lower Provo River (Wildwood Tunnels, Railroad Trestle, Deer Creek Dam, and Murdock Diversion or Canyon View Park near Canyon Mouth). Mike Slater, UDWR, invites anyone interested in helping and seeing how the fishery is doing to join us for the fun/work. Open the attachment for more details.
