Testimonials
"As a trout bum, traveling for target species, I was looking for a guide outfit that would put me on those fish. A typical guide service has one or two locations, where they bring each and every client. With Uinta Life, you fill out a form of target species and preferred days to fish, then they create a 'custom' guiding trip. Steve put me on fish in some incredible mountain reservoirs, with options to move to a larger reservoir to cast streamers for larger fish. Depending on the season, Uinta Life will bring you up to high mountain lakes in the Uinta Mountains, which is unlike any other guiding services. So, if you're looking for something specific in your fly fishing experience, the guys over at Uinta Life will try to make it happen. I know that when I'm back in Utah, I'll be looking to get on some high mountain lakes and these are the guys to get the job done."

“I went on a fly fishing tour with Uinta Life last Thursday, and it was an unforgettable experience!… (It) was my first time ever trying fly fishing… Steve was the perfect guide. He’s extremely knowledgeable, patient, and an excellent instructor… The scenery was stunning, and the fishing was incredible. The entire experience felt like a perfect mix of outdoor adventure and expert coaching. I will DEFINITELY be back!”

“I’ve been out with Steve from Uinta Life twice now. Each time he was extremely thorough with what my expectations were and what I wanted to accomplish. Both times, Steve delivered with flying colors. He got me to some pristine locations and caught plenty of fish. His character and personality made each trip special, I cannot wait until the next time we go out.”

“We’ve spent our fair share of time fishing in the Uintas, but having knowledgeable guides to put us on beautiful fish with the right gear took all the guess work out of it, so we spent more time catching.”
-Josh and Heidi S. (Utah)
“We had a great time being instructed in fly fishing. Rich was patient with a fountain of knowledge that came forth with articulation and encouragement. Wow!!! Did we catch fish, tiger trout and could have been a basket full of beautiful rainbow trout.”
-Larry (New Jersey)
“Fishing the Uinta Mountain lakes and rivers has been both great and terrible for me in the past. That’s just sort of how things go up there. That said, I don’t think you could have a bad day with these guys guiding you. They know their stuff. We caught a lot of beautiful fish on a tough day. They are also the kind of people you’d love to spend a day with. Uinta Life checks all of the boxes!”

“25 fish on our first fly fishing lesson!
Rich brought us to fly fish for trout for half a day. We were both novice fly fisherman.
After a brief few lessons using dry flies, wet flies, and streamers, we were into fish. On my very first cast, I caught a Tiger Trout! The next fish was a nice Rainbow, then a chunky 16-incher.
25 fish later, our time was up. On the way home , Rich brought us to a beautiful waterfall to close out a wonderful day of fishing.
I highly recommend Uinta Life… that is, if you want to catch fish and have fun.”
-Michael F., Ph.D.
“Thank you Uinta Life for the wonderful day! It was so fun to spend a day in the heart of the Uintas catching grayling and brookies. Our guides were experienced and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Uinta Life! Also, my shirt is so soft!”
