| Grand Canyon Fishing Guides |
The Grand Canyon has some great fishing, and in particular fly-fishing. Although you can bring your fly rod or casting equipment any time you'll be rafting the Colorado River, or hiking one of its larger side canyons like Bright Angel Creek, the Guides and Outfitters are all located near Lee's Ferry. The Grand Canyon has both Rainbows and Brown trout near Lee's Ferry and the upper canyon. If you head further down river you'll find stripped bass that have been making their way up from Lake Mead, as well as catfish due to the warming water. Grand Canyon National Park is currently working on the removal and study of these fish species due to their role in the decline of the native humpback chub. You'll need an AZ fishing license to try your luck, and you can get one day, multi-day and annual licenses with a trout stamp.
The guides at Lee's Ferry, who specialize in guided fly-fishing, typically do two types of trips. One is taking a motorized boat up the Colorado River out side of Grand Canyon National Park into part of Glen Canyon. Although you're not in the Grand Canyon the scenery is still beautiful, and so is the fishing. If you want to get in a great hike and be within the boundaries of Grand Canyon National Park the guides will take you down one of several side canyons to get to the river. The guides companies also own or work with the local lodges that offer some great food, and good prices on lodging.
