Straight Canyon Creek - Orangeville , UT

Straight Canyon Creek below Joe’s Valley Dam offers quality small-stream fishing for wild brown trout. Easily accessed from State Route 29, this narrow canyon stream is known for its clear water and classic freestone features.

Browns average 8–14 inches and respond well to dry flies like caddis, stimulators, and hoppers in summer. Beadhead nymphs and small streamers work well in cooler months. Early morning and evening hours offer the best activity.

Casting can be tight due to brush, requiring short drifts or roll casts. Deeper pools and undercut banks hold the biggest fish.

Spring runoff can temporarily limit fishing, but flows stabilize by mid-June. Fall is a particularly productive season for active browns.

With reliable access, light pressure, and consistent flows, Straight Canyon Creek is a rewarding destination for anglers seeking technical but peaceful trout fishing in a secluded setting.
