Brown Trout
While Castle Valley, Utah, might be better known for its desert landscapes, anglers can find some surprisingly good brown trout fishing in the nearby La Sal Mountains. Mill Creek, which flows down from the mountains, offers the most accessible and consistent opportunity. The best time to fish for browns here is late spring through early fall, after the snowmelt has subsided and before the water gets too cold. Small spinners, dry flies, and nymph patterns are all effective. Be prepared for challenging wading conditions, as the creek can be rocky and swift. Access is relatively easy via the La Sal Mountain Loop Road. A local tip: Focus on the deeper pools and undercut banks where trout seek refuge from the sun. The browns in Mill Creek are typically smaller, averaging 8-12 inches, but they are wild and beautiful fish. Remember to practice catch and release to help maintain this fragile fishery.
