About
Marble Canyon Outfitters at Lee's Ferry is operated by Mick Lovett. Mick took over Marble Canyon Outfitters in January of 2011. Mick has been serving as a full time guide for Marble Canyon Outfitters for over 2 years. Mick has been fishing since he was a little boy and fly fishing is his passion. He landed his first rainbow on a fly rod at Lees Ferry when he was just 4 years old and it is now his pleasure to serve you in this new endeavor as operator of Marble Canyon Outfitters.
MCO is a full guide service and has been providing a high quality angling experience since 1988. MCO has continually pursued excellence in the field. We were the first at Lees Ferry to provide client lunches and the first to offer clients the comfort of fully enclosed and heated boats. We are always keenly aware of what our clients want from their day at Lees Ferry. It isn't always "big fish and lots of 'em" at any cost. We are ready and willing to provide comprehensive instruction on a technique new to the angler be it how to spot fish, achieve an extended drag free drift, add 20' to your cast, or how to prevent that nasty tailing loop. Our guides are all casting instructors and delight in instructing new and experienced fly fishermen, alike. Or perhaps it is a discussion of the colorful human history of the area and the geology of Glen Canyon. Always, our aim is to give the angler a memorable day at Lees Ferry.
