About Currant Creek
Currant Creek is a scenic high-altitude fishery located at 7,683 feet, offering both reservoir and stream fishing for cutthroat trout. Anglers often target trout in the reservoir by fishing deep with streamers, woolly buggers, and leech patterns, frequently using sinking lines from pontoon boats. While the creek below the dam presents challenges due to thick vegetation, hidden pools and beaver dams within Currant Creek itself hold abundant trout, accessible via social trails. Although no specific hatches are mentioned, the proximity to other Utah fisheries suggests potential for terrestrial and nymphing opportunities, particularly in the fall. Access is straightforward from U.S. 40 via an unpaved road leading to the reservoir, which features a U.S. Forest Service campground and restrooms, with dispersed camping also available.
