River and Stream Fishing
A blue ribbon fishery, The Left Fork of Huntington is a tributary of Huntington Creek. It is a great fly fishing destination that offers cutthroats, browns, and rainbows. This high mountain stream is about five miles long and is lined with aspen and conifer. In fall the creek runs low, but there are lots of pools for fishing. The Left Fork joins Huntington Creek, another good fishery, east of the campground.
Permit: | A Utah Fishing License is required and can be obtained from the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. |
