I fished it once when I was in Yellowstone and did ok..... well not ok actually, I caught like 3 small fish and had no idea what I was doing.
Great river for white water rafting though (done that in Jackson hole like 5 times.)

I have a friend who is a way more serious fisherman than me (wins competitions all the time) and he swears by the south fork of the snake (his favorite spot). I have seen some of his pics of the fish he is pullin in and I gotta say holy **** they are some nice ones!

A real good friend of mine owns a substantial portion of the Snake River (meaning both sides far enough that it's virtually private) and has countless celebrities, NBA/College coaches into fish all the time.. and he claims that 'can't reach' areas are the best fishing in NA.... hyperbole, I'm sure.. but was just curious if anyone here knows anything.

I also have a friend that owns nearly 1million acres in Patagonia (southern Chile and Argentina) and he has the top fishing guides in the world beating down his door. Liam Neeson (sp?) did a documentary piece on the fishing there.

I used to fish every day of my life when back in the Midwest/south (bass/crappie) and deep sea when living in the Florida Keys ... but haven't gone once since moving to the west. imma loser.

I don't have a boat and so I don't fish the bigger lakes much, but when I have went with a friend who has a boat, I have enjoyed strawberry, jordanelle, Utah lake, deer creek, scofield, and rockport.
My favorite place that I have fished from a boat was flaming gorge though... lots of kokanee and a few big rainbows and mackinaw mixed in.

Since I don't have a boat however, a lot of the time I just try to fish in places with great scenery. Basically get someplace with a high elevation.
Last week I was at smith and morehouse fishing the lake right where the river comes in and I caught rainbows, arctic grayling, and a cutthroat but all of them were quite small.
Payson lakes is an awesome campground and I highly recommend you try it out. It has 3 lakes right next to each other and you are guaranteed to catch fish if you throw on a shiny lure (red and gold jakes lure, castmaster, etc)

For myself, I love fishing rivers, but only with my dog or maybe 1 other person. Im selfish on my rivers that I like and I want to hit up all the best holes, so I don't like to be with other people when fishing rivers.
There are 3 nice rivers up Spanish fork canyon that are all somewhat close that I enjoy. (diamond fork, thistle, lower fish creek).
Provo river is nice but super crowded.
If you wanted to do ALOT of fishing and have a long adventure, then I recommend driving to Jackson hole Wyoming and fishing the portneuf river, little blackfoot river, tincup creek, salt river, and greys river all on the way there..... Then just enjoy Jackson hole and the grand tetons, awesome little city.

This is fantastic! Getting outdoors, preferably somewhere nice and forest-like, is the real goal. I'll be eating some fish, but most of it will be catch and release. If I end up in another state, I have to go get a license for that state too, correct?

Yes that is correct.... but you can buy a 1 day license or like a 3 day license or something so you save a little monies
