Fishing near Moab, UT

Moab sits in Grand County in the canyon country of southeastern Utah, where the Colorado River cuts through red-rock desert and the La Sal Mountains rise sharply to the southeast. The area draws anglers to two very different fisheries: the Colorado River and nearby Ken's Lake for catfish, bass, and sunfish at lower elevations, and a cluster of high-alpine lakes in the La Sal Mountains — including Warner, Oowah, Medicine, and Hidden lakes — stocked with trout. The Green River and San Juan River, both within a few hours' drive, round out the regional options with trophy-class trout fishing.
