Continue north on SR 87, and then turn west on SR 35 toward Hanna. This road runs along the Duchesne all the way to the confluence of the North and West Forks. This stretch is predominantly private. Anglers wishing to fish here should secure permission from landowners. Please respect private property.
Anglers can sometimes find good conditions before the runoff begins in the spring.
This stretch of the river can turn muddy with any substantial rainfall. For the most part, this is a fun and simple stream to fish. There are rainbows and some browns in the lower stretches of the river. The upper portion is home to many bright and unsophisticated brook trout. If you park at the end of the road and fish upstream, you will seldom see other anglers.
