Rainbow Trout
While Hanksville itself may not be teeming with rainbow trout streams, its proximity to the Fremont River and access to Lake Powell provides opportunities for rainbow trout fishing. The Fremont River, though smaller, can hold some surprisingly good rainbows, especially in the cooler months. Lake Powell also has a population of rainbows that can be targeted, particularly in the backs of canyons and near inflows. Spring and fall offer the best fishing conditions as the water temperatures are more favorable. Fishing early or late in the day during the summer can also be productive. A good approach is to use small spinners, spoons, or bait along the Fremont River, focusing on areas with riffles and pools. For Lake Powell, trolling with spoons or crankbaits can be effective, or try fishing with bait near submerged structure. Remember to check the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources for current fishing regulations and stocking reports.
