Navajo Canyon Lake - Duck Creek Village, UT

Lake Information
Fish Species: | Rainbow Trout, Brook Trout |
The eastern arm of Navajo Lake—sometimes called Navajo Canyon Lake—offers quieter, sheltered waters near Duck Creek Village. While not a separate lake, this canyon area feels distinct thanks to its steeper banks and deeper pockets.
Rainbow and brook trout are the primary targets here, typically 10–14 inches. PowerBait, worms, and spinners work well along shoreline structure. Fly anglers succeed with caddis and beadhead nymphs in shaded shallows.
Cooler water temperatures and reduced wind make this a top zone for float tubes and kayaks. Shore access is limited but reachable via footpaths.
Because this area sees less boat traffic, it’s popular with anglers seeking peace and consistent trout action. Regulations are the same as the main Navajo Lake.
For a quieter, more focused fishing session away from the crowds, the canyon arm of Navajo Lake is a reliable choice.
