About American Fork
The American Fork River, originating in the Wasatch Mountains, flows through American Fork Canyon before emptying into Utah Lake. Fly fishermen can expect to target smaller rainbow trout, typically 6-12 inches, with some brown trout also present. The river supports a diverse insect community, including mayflies, stoneflies, and caddisflies, which are crucial for productive fly fishing. Access is generally best during summer and fall, avoiding periods of heavy snowmelt.
