Heh heh. First, I hope that once you get to Idaho and Utah, you'll find that you need to make the trip more than a one-time shot. The fishing is great out here in the west, and fly fishing is addictive no matter where you do it. Next, you realize that both of these rivers are like 6 hours from Boise, right? I'm not sure why you'd want to go all that way when there are MANY blue ribbon trout fisheries that are much closer. You've got the Boise River and the South Fork RIGHT THERE, which has some tremendous, wild sections of river for the taking, and you will be visiting during the most spectacular time of the year. Even Yellowstone is probably closer to Boise than Provo. There are two great rivers in Cache Valley, Utah, just a couple hours from Boise. If you have to choose one, and you've never fly fished before, I recommend the Provo River. Fly fishing the Green is big-river business and you might not learn as much as you will on the Provo. You'd also want to think about a boat you'd almost surely want a guide for the Green if visiting for your first time. The Provo has some fairly large waters, but it is also fairly cozy in some parts, and in some sections it's almost like fishing a small stream. I would definitely learn everything you can about fly fishing before you set out. You'll be completely lost if you have to figure EVERYthing out once you get there. You don't necessarily take a class, but maybe if you have a friend who can get you started, maybe take you out somewhere to catch a few fish, you won't be sorry. Fly fishing has a fairly steep learning curve -- you don't want to deal with that while you're on vacation. As to a guide, yeah, I would think about having a guide even if you learn a little about fly fishing beforehand. Without the guide, no matter where you go, you will need a few days to figure out where to go and how to fish. With the guide, you'll be up and fishing and catching fish on the first day of the trip. You can always get the guide for a day trip and then fish on your own after that. Good luck and have fun. Come back here with more questions.<br><b>References : </b><br> Nice name! Heh heh.
