Logan River - Logan, Utah

Flowing from Bear River Range down Logan Canyon, the Logan River is a premier trout water offering diverse fishing environments. Below Cutler Reservoir, anglers fish both stocked and wild rainbows, along with a few browns, using egg patterns, spinners, and nymph rigs. Access is easy from bridges and parks near town.

In Logan Canyon the river becomes a wild trout haven. Rainbows and browns average 8–16 inches in cold, clear flows. Fly anglers cast dries such as PMDs and Adams, or nymphs with split shot near deep runs and riffles. Streamers also entice larger fish. Summer flows stay fishable due to mountain shade, and fall brings prime hatches and calmer waters.

Spring runoff demands caution until midsummer, while winter offers bank and tailrace trout action. Access remains open year-round.

Parking areas, pull‑outs, and scenic overlooks make fishing comfortable. Selective gear and catch-and-release rules may apply—check current regulations.

For anglers craving adaptable trout waters—from town parks to canyon wilderness—the Logan River ranks as an essential Utah mountain fishery.
