East Fork Sevier River - UT

River Information
Fish Species: | Cutthroat Trout, Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout |
The East Fork Sevier River flows from the Uinta Mountains through canyon, farmland, and lowland terrain. It offers diverse trout fishing—from wild headwater runs to stocked mid-canyon reaches.
High elevation sections hold wild rainbow and brown trout (10–14 inches) in cool, riffly water. Fly anglers deploy midges, mayflies, and nymph rigs, while dries work well over risers.
Mid-canyon pockets are stocked for summer and fall trout action, with catchable fish taking bait, spinners, and small plugs. Park-side access makes these reaches easy for family fishing.
Further downstream the river warms. Trout become sparse, but carp and sunfish appear. These fish bite corn and dough bait from shore or boat.
With multiple road-side access points and campgrounds, the East Fork is perfect for mixing remote fly water and quick family fishing near US‑89.
