About this water

Huntington Creek is the Wasatch Plateau's reward for getting off the Wasatch Front — a tumbling, limestone-influenced canyon creek up the Hwy 31 corridor southwest of Price, and one of Utah's designated Blue Ribbon fisheries. It comes in two forks worth knowing. The Left Fork, from the Forest Service campground up into the headwaters and all its little tributaries, is artificial-flies-and-lures-only, high-quality water for wild browns, cutthroat and rainbows; the upper Right Fork, below Electric Lake, runs flies-only and adds a tailwater chill to the mix. It's small-stream fishing in the best sense: short accurate casts, attractor dries the trout still rise to, a dropper for the doubters, and careful wading on a cobbled bed. Easy access off the highway and the campgrounds. Spring runoff colours and bumps it; from when it clears in early summer through autumn it's a lovely, low-pressure plateau creek where the fish haven't been educated half to death.
