Be sure to check the proclamation for complete information before you head to a water. The nature of special regulations can provide valuable information about a water. Many of our better waters are restricted to fishing with artificial flies or lures only and subject to restrictive harvest limitations. The intent is to protect fish where pressure is heavy, to spread the harvest over a longer period of time, and to allow more fish to grow big. Some waters are closed each year during a spawning period.
Some fishers prefer to catch wild fish.
In general, the sections of stream subject to special regulations provide the best fishing. Below we provide a rundown of good Utah fly waters. The waters are listed alphabetically - they are not ranked in any way. Good fly fishing for trout. A popular small lake in very scenic terrain.
