Quiet Fly Fisher Fly Shop and Guide Service

Robert Rushing

I don’t even like fishing, but I had a blast with these guys. It was so much fun and they showed me and my group how to fly fish. We caught a lot more than I expected. Some of us went from being a complete novice to dare I say goodish in our one half day session. Totally recommend it! Ask for Chance, he’s the man.

I was taking a family vacation to Bryce Canyon and Capitol Reef, and took a day to go fly fishing with Mike. It was a day well spent, and he connected everyone in the family with a brown trout on the Fremont River, despite widely varying skill level among the four of us. He brought his son along who paired up with two of us, while Mike paired up with the other two. Mike was knowledgeable, and matched our destination with the skill level of the anglers involved. An easy to fish stream, with an opportunity to find some bigger browns. While we didn't catch any trophy fish, Mike made us feel welcome and helped us to all catch fish. He explained enough to assist with fishing the various spots. I must say, his son was shaping up to be a good guide as well. Many thanks Mike.

Aptly named, Mike’s an understated guide who will get you into a variety of fish on a variety of waters. With 20+ years of operations experience under his belt he attracts a team of great guides Who know the Fremont, Fish Lake and other local waters. Do you know a guy in serious serious when he’s got truck window visors like this...

Loa, Utah. Located in south central Utah on the plateau surrounded by mountains. About 7000' in elevation. What a neat little town! The Snuggle Inn is a nice place to stay. We went there to fish with The Quiet Fly Fisher - Mike and Troy. Excellent guides! Due south of Loa is Boulder Mountain. Tons of water up there. We've fished a few high mountain lakes (10000' +) and a little stream. The lakes we fished had grayling and brookies. Little Pine Creek - you can step across it - was stuffed with little natural cutthroats.....tons of them. Then there was UM Creek. We've fished 2 sections - Mike's "secret" section and the upper reaches of it. Mike's "secret" section, the fishing was outstanding! Loads of tiger trout and gorgeous cutthroats. In this section, most of the creek isn't much bigger than 10-12' across and only a couple of feet deep; BUT there are lots of trout and some really large ones! The upper reaches of the creek are around 9000'. You drive through a large aspen forest (beautiful!) and out to the creek. The scenery and the fishing are excellent. All we caught up there were cuts. Of course, a short drive and you can visit Capital Reef National Park. IT'S WORTH A VISIT!
