Overview
Fall is here. Small streams can be hit or miss this time of year. Fishing is dependent on flows (or lack there of) and temps. Be on the lookout for spawning Brown and Brook trout and try to avoid their redds. Unfortunately, due to the Dollar Ridge Fire the Strawberry Pinnacles access road is closed and we expect there to be a pretty substantial fish kill.
Latest Flows

Overview
Late Summer into early Fall is time to get out on Utah’s small streams. Enjoy them before Winter sets in! It’s terrestrial season. Throw hoppers, ants, or stimulators. Look for midges and tricos in the mornings and you will also still see some PMD’s mid day and Caddis activity in the evenings. Unfortunately, due to the Dollar Ridge Fire the Strawberry Pinnacles access road is closed and we expect there to be a pretty substantial fish kill.

Utah’s small stream fishing is great right now. Fish are much more active with the warmer temperatures. Depending on where you go, you can find some cicadas, stone flies, golden stones, midges, caddis, and PMDs. Drakes are just around the corner. Now is a great time to get out and explore some off the beaten path haunts.

Overview
Utah’s small stream fishing can be great right now. Midges and blue wings are the main hatch, but you can see caddis activity and also tiny black stones. Fish are much more active with the warmer temperatures. Now is a great time to get out and explore some off the beaten path haunts. We haven’t had much snow this year, but be wary of snow drifts and mud when you are driving around. If you are on a freestone stream, know that as runoff occurs throughout the day it will discolor the water and turn the fishing off with the murky conditions.
