Fishing in Duck Creek is a favorite of many when on Cedar Mountain.

Zion National Park Fishing

Fishing is allowed in the Virgin River in Zion National Park as long as you have a current Utah fishing license.

Fishing: Cedar Mountain

Highway 14 from Cedar City to the junction at Highway 89 is one of the most traveled byways in the Southern Utah area. Dixie National Forest's two million acres of forest, ponds, lakes and mountains that stretch across Southern Utah make prime spots for fishing.

Navajo Lake and Duck Creek

Located high atop the Markagunt Plateau, along Highway 14, is the Navajo Lake recreation area and Duck Creek. These lakes and streams are the place to fish for all four types of trout; rainbow, german brown, brook and cutthroat trout. The lake was named from a violent encounter between Cedar City cattlemen and a Navajo Indian raiding party back in the 1800's. The popular hikes Cascade Falls and the Navajo Loop Trail begin at Navajo Lake.

Zion National Park - UTAH!

Some people are under the impression that all that is required to make a good fisherman is the ability to tell lies easily and without blushing; but this is a mistake. Mere bald fabrication is useless; the veriest tyro can manage that. It is in the circumantial detail, the embellishing touches of probability, the general air of scrupulous - almost of pedantic - veracity, that the experienced angler is seen. -- Jerome K.
