Welcome to High Country Fly Fishers

Established in December 1989, High Country Fly Fishers (HCFF) fishing club is a conservation-oriented Trout Unlimited chapter located in beautiful Park City, Utah and covering all of Summit and Wasatch counties. Our activities include teaching fly fishing and fly tying, conservation projects in support of the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, the Trout-in-the-Classroom program at local schools and lots of great fishing trips.  We meet once a month and feature fishing guides, fly tyers and fisheries biologists from all over the Western states as speakers.  Check the Calendar page for the exact dates. Old friends and new members are always welcome, so drop by for good conversation, interesting programs and fish tales.

HCFF Conservation Update and Fall Opportunities

Middle Provo River Temperature Monitoring Project Completion

Dave Whiteman has completed HCFF’s two-year Middle Provo River Temperature Monitoring Project and will be presenting his findings at an upcoming club meeting.

Middle Provo River Temperature Monitoring Project Completion: This 2-year-long project, run by HCFF member Dave Whiteman, is completed. The project investigated the daily, seasonal and annual changes in water temperature along the entire 12-mile-long Middle Provo River between the Jordanelle and Deer Creek Reservoirs. The raw data is now available through a State website. A data analysis report, a report introducing fishermen to the river and videos showing the macroinvertebrate fauna in the river, and the river’s geography are now available on the club website as part of this project. Dave will give a report on the findings of interest to fishermen at a future HCFF meeting. Stay tuned for the announcement scheduling this talk.

Electro-Fishing and Gill-Netting Opportunities

DWR will again be sampling fish counts this Fall in several of our favorite fishing spots, and they need volunteers. If you are interested in participating in one of these events, please contact Jayne Guyse/HCFF Conservation Committee Chair for details.
