Lees Ferry On The Fly

A one captain business rather than a shop or a lodge. Dave Trimble owns the operation, runs the boat himself and is the only guide profiled on the site, with a Coast Guard license and more than twenty five years of local experience behind him. Safety is named as the organizing principle of how the business is run. Alongside the fishing, the company sells a jet boat shuttle for paddlers and rents kayaks and stand up paddleboards to go with it, which turns one boat and one stretch of river into two lines of work. Lodging is not handled in house; the site directs guests to Marble Canyon Lodge instead. Reservations and questions go straight to Trimble by phone or email rather than through a front desk or a booking agency.
