Lake Utah (described above) Anglers go for catfish, yellow perch and a fewer number of bass and walleye. Fishing boats can be rented at the marina at Utah Lake State Park (435- 375-0731). Deer Creek Reservoir (described above) The lake is stocked yearly with rainbow trout and has largemouth bass and walleye that reproduce naturally. Provo River The Provo River flows southwest from the Deer Creek Reservoir through Provo Canyon. It was once named one of the top ten "blue ribbon" trout streams in the West by Field and Stream Magazine. It contains rainbows, cutthroats and browns as well as Rocky Mountain whitefish. The river can be accessed from Hwy 189 at many points in the canyon. American Fork River Though fish yields in the American Fork River do not rival the Provo River, it is a very attractive river to fish. It is stocked with rainbows and also yields browns.
