Though uncommon, one can fly-fish on horseback, just as one can fish with a horsefly or fly on the back of a horsefish. Try horsebacking and fly-fishing separately with today’s Groupon from Rocky Mountain Outfitters in Midway. Choose between two options:

• For $29, you get a one-hour horseback ride in the Wasatch Mountains (a $59 value).
• For $109, you get a three-hour fly-fishing lesson on the Provo River (a $229 value).

Rocky Mountain Outfitters guides friends of the great outdoors through scenic escapes up the slopes of the majestic Wasatch Mountains and along the banks of the peaceful Provo River. The equestrian excursion begins in Midway, where a knowledgeable guide introduces beginners to the finer points of horsemanship before leading adventurers out on the Mountain Meadows Trail. Once in the picturesque setting of Soldier Hollow Valley’s south slope, riders can steer their trusty steeds through the easygoing foothills of premier Wasatch backcountry while making small talk with them about horseshoe fashion. Led by an expert trail navigator, the leisurely one-hour saunter blesses stallion surfers with views of towering Mount Timpanogos and shimmering Deer Creek Reservoir. All riders younger than 12 must be accompanied by an adult.

Both first-time fly-fishermen and expert anglers can probe the Provo River’s Blue Ribbon-designated fishing waters during three hours of casting and reeling lessons. Meeting piscators on either the middle or lower section of the Provo, depending on the river’s conditions, an Orvis-endorsed guide will lead the way to prime cast-off spots and known fish speakeasies. Pupils learn the ins and outs of technique, luring Woolly Buggers into fly-baited traps and hauling in hefty brown and rainbow trout. Rocky Mountain Outfitters will supply equipment and tackle for the day, though fishermen should bring additional items such as sunglasses, sunscreen, and sunshawls. A one-day fishing license is required to participate in this outing.
