Rainbow Trout
While the Virgin River runs through Springdale, Utah, targeting rainbow trout requires venturing to cooler, higher-elevation streams and reservoirs. The East Fork of the Virgin River, further upstream and within Zion National Park, holds some rainbow trout, although fishing can be challenging due to access and regulations. Check with park authorities for permit requirements and specific fishing guidelines. The best time to fish for rainbows in these streams is typically during the late spring and early summer, after the spring runoff has subsided and the water has cleared. Small nymphs and dry flies are effective, and a light rod and reel are recommended. Be prepared for some hiking to reach the best fishing spots. Remember to practice catch and release to help sustain the trout population. The rainbows in these streams are generally smaller, averaging 6-10 inches, but the scenic beauty of the surrounding landscape makes for a rewarding fishing experience. Respect the delicate ecosystem and pack out everything you pack in.
