Falcon's Ledge Lodge

April through October, 2012

A single fly fishing trip to Falcon's Ledge Lodge can be filled with many different angling experiences. One day you might sight cast to big wary browns and rainbows on a clear cold tailwater or toss attractors to wild cutthroats and brookies in forested freestone streams above 8000 feet. The next day of your fly fishing vacation you might hit undercut banks with hoppers on secluded water at the Lake Fork River Ranch or cast to huge cruisers in the private stillwaters. With many stream and river fishing options within easy driving distance and access to sixteen trophy stillwaters you’ll never run out of things to try, or simply find your favorite and stick with it. Whether you’re a beginning fly fisher, an expert, or somewhere in between, you’re sure to be provided an enjoyable angling experience.

The fall months often provide some of the most exciting and productive fishing of the seasons. Also it is a great time to enjoy the best of both sports offered at Falcon’s Ledge; fly fishing and wing shooting. For a few short weeks these two “seasons” overlap.

Falcon’s Ledge provides guided wade/walk fly fishing on their home waters, Rock Creek, the Duchesne, Lake Fork, Strawberry, Uintah, Whiterocks and Yellowstone Rivers. These and many smaller streams on the south slope of the High Uintas provide the excitement and challenges of catching wild trout. These mountain freestone streams and tailwaters are guided as catch and release to sustain the population of native wild fish. 

Falcon’s Ledge is located in Stillwater canyon, a private six-hundred acre sanctuary from the world. While isolated, they are easy to get to from Salt Lake City. Travel time from Salt Lake City International Airport is just over two hours through some of Utah’s most scenic country. As you leave the Salt Lake valley you will cross over the Wasatch Mountains through Parleys Canyon, by Park City, Deer Valley and the Canyons ski resorts, Jordanelle Reservoir and on through the scenic Heber Valley. You will then climb up to Daniel’s Summit, drive past Strawberry Reservoir and continue on through red rock canyons and juniper forests. After passing Starvation Reservoir you will come to the town of Duchesne. In Duchesne you turn north toward the Uinta Mountains, Ute Indian Reservation, Ashley National Forest and the High Uintas Wilderness. It is at the doorstep to these magnificent mountains that you will find Stillwater Canyon and the Lodge at Falcon’s Ledge.

The 15,000 square foot lodge was designed specifically to provide the ultimate lodging experience for secluded fly fishing and wingshooting adventures.

The likewise trained professional culinary staff bakes bread, rolls and creates soups from scratch to help make every meal at Falcon’s Ledge a dining experience not soon forgotten. After a day of fishing and a great meal, relax in the great room, TV room, or shoot pool in the game room. Sit out on the deck under the Milky Way and get ready for another great day of fishing. Wireless internet access can keep you connected to the real world if you must.
