Don, whenever I go to Moab I hit Ken's Lake. You might not find this
on any map, but it is public water, al reservoir created for the
towns water supply. Its about a 15 minute drive from town. Go south
on the highway leading out of Moab until you see the Old Airport
Road. (It is by a cement factory, you will see piles of gravel, the
cement silo, etc.) Take a right there and continue till you come to
another main road head south, Continue south on this road until you
see the reservoir (it will be on your right)
Both times I've fished it have been in the spring using my pontoon
boat, so I don't know how it fishes this time of year, nor how it
fishes from the shore. It contains Rainbow and Brown trout, Crappie
and bass. It's fun fishing in the spring, because you never know
what you will catch.
There is a river coming out of the mountains above that feeds the
reservoir, but I have never fished it, but the locals say it has a
good population of Brown trout.
I know people fish both the Green and the Colorado for a variety of
warm water fish, but I have no idea what the bite will be like this
time of the year.
You can find more information about fishing in Utah at the
Department of Wildlife Resources site

Does anyone know if there's any decent flywater in the Moab / Green
River Utah area- say, within an hour's drive? Lakes, rivers,
creeks, ponds, irrigation ditches, public goldfish fountains...
Thanks,
