Does anyone know anything about the Escalante river or Calf Creek falls in southern utah? What kind of fish are there? Tactics? Any help would be appreciated. I will also be hitting Tropic Reservoir if you guys have any ideas.
THANKS.

Was there a couple years ago, nice stream with browns rainbow and cuthroat. There is also a couple lakes just outside boulder with a pumphouse in the lower one. Ask the locals for directions. My kids had alot of fun there.

I haven't fished Calf Creek for quite a few years, but there were lots and lots of smaller browns and a few cuts. The water is very shallow and clear, so you need to be stealthy as the fish were spooky, but it's a fun stream to fish with amazing scenery. I remember some pretty good caddis hatches in the evening, and terrestrials were very effective.
I tried the Escalante one evening for an hour or two. It wasn't as productive, but I did catch a couple, including a pretty nice cuttbow.

Hey thanks for the pointers! Any more tactics that will work? What about spinners or plastics?

i fished Calf Creek about 2 years ago. lots of little browns fun fishing though just used spinners it is very clear water but it was fun we caught alot.

I'm sure small spinners would work very well. I also fished it years and years ago back in high school with a spinning rod and did well with small dark colored marabou jigs.

As has been said lots of smaller browns, we did foamy dries with a bead head dropper. Fun little river to fish but stealth is required.
