East Fork Sevier River, Black Canyon (Blue Ribbon):
Stream flows are much lower in the winter, so walk lightly and work on your stealth skills to avoid spooking fish. Spring inflow keeps Black Canyon more free of surface ice than other streams. Brown and cutthroat trout can get a little sluggish during the winter, but fishing can still be fair to good, especially on warm, sunny days. Visit www.sevierriver.org to see real-time flow. (

East Fork Sevier River, Kingston Canyon (Blue Ribbon):
Stream flows are much lower in the winter, so walk lightly and work on your stealth skills to avoid spooking fish. Low flow also often leads to surface ice, which can make fishing more difficult. Brown and rainbow trout can get a little sluggish during the winter, but fishing can still be fair to good, especially on warm, sunny days. Visit www.sevierriver.org to see real-time flow. 

East Fork Sevier River, Upper: Post-fire impacts:
The Left Fork Fire in 2022 and France Canyon Fire in 2025 burned heavily through the Upper Kanab Creek and Blubber Creek drainages. Summer rainstorms washed large amounts of ash into the stream after these events, killing all fish in Upper Kanab Creek and Blubber Creek. The upper East Fork Sevier River, from Kanab Creek downstream to Tropic Reservoir, appears to have also suffered large losses of fish due to the ash flow. The East Fork and all tributaries upstream of Kanab Creek were unaffected by the fire and still have abundant trout. Access to Upper Kanab Creek and Blubber Creek may be limited due to ongoing safety issues from the fire. Fishing forecast (December–March): The upper East Fork Sevier River provides little fishing opportunity due to poor access and surface ice.
