There is no blue ribbon trout stream located within the county and stream fishing is limited to a few small mountain streams. However, several reservoirs have been built over the years to provide water for agriculture and human consumption. These have proved to be excellent recreational opportunities for anglers in search of trout and various warm water species. Since many of these waters are located in lower elevations, the best fishing for trout will occur during the spring and fall. Recapture Reservoir is also the only water where small boats are allowed.
Anglers can expect fast action on pan-sized rainbows with a chance of catching a few bass.
Located at the base of the La Sal Mountains, this lake is stocked with both rainbows and brook trout. This lake has a campground and is an excellent choice for an extended stay. These reservoirs are located in the Blue Mountains and are surrounded by aspens and pine forests. Anglers at these two lakes can expect good fishing for planted rainbows. The fish in these streams are not big, but they make up for size in their numbers and willingness to rise to the fly.
