The Straight River is a tributary of the Fish Hook River, {{Convert|23|mi|km}} long, in north-central Minnesota in the United States. Via the Fish Hook, Shell, and Crow Wing Rivers, it is part of the watershed of the Mississippi River, draining an area of approximately {{Convert|60|mi2|km2}} in a rural region. The river is known as one of Minnesota's best trout fishing streams.[5]

The river's name is a translation of the Ojibwe name for Straight Lake,[6] through which the river flows near its source.[7]

Geography

The Straight River rises in the White Earth Indian Reservation and Two Inlets State Forest, approximately {{Convert|6|mi|km}} northeast of Pine Point in Pine Point Township in northeastern Becker County. It flows initially southeastwardly, passing through Straight Lake, then east-southeastwardly into southwestern Hubbard County. It flows into the Fish Hook River in Hubbard Township, approximately {{Convert|4|mi|km}} south of Park Rapids.[7] The river flows in the Northern Lakes and Forests ecoregion, which is characterized by conifer and hardwood forests on flat and rolling till plains and outwash plains.[8]

The Straight River is fed by springs which provide water cold enough to support an abundant trout population, and is known in sport fishing for catches of brown trout exceeding {{Convert|20|in|cm}} in length. The river formerly supported a population of brook trout which declined due to rising water temperatures. In the early 1990s a group of organizations including Trout Unlimited sued the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, seeking heightened protection of the Straight River; the department has since begun scrutinizing the irrigation activities of agricultural operations in the river's watershed, which may threaten the springs feeding cold water to the river.[5][9]

Flow rate

At the United States Geological Survey's stream gauge in Straight River Township near Park Rapids, the annual mean flow of the river between 1987 and 2005 was {{Convert|60.8|ft3|m3}} per second. The highest recorded flow during the period was {{Convert|149|ft3|m3}} per second on {{Date|1997-04-06|mdy}}. The lowest recorded flow was {{Convert|21|ft3|m3}} per second on {{Date|2003-11-23|mdy}}.[4]
