Sevier River
East Fork

<b>Summer Forecast (June-August):</b> Summer fishing is often a little difficult due to increased releases from Johnson Reservoir. If you can figure out how to fish the higher flows, you can find abundant brown trout. The stream in Zedd's Meadow is de-watered annually so, while it looks like a nice stream in the summer, you're not likely to find many fish. Focus fishing efforts on the river below Mamoit Springs.

<b>Left Fork Fire:</b> The Left Fork Fire in 2022 and France Canyon Fire in 2025 burned heavily through the Upper Kanab Creek and Blubber Creek drainages. Summer rain storms wash 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.<br><br>

<b>Summer Fishing Forecast (June - August):</b> Runoff should subside by June. Wild trout are abundant in the upper East Fork Sevier River and its tributaries and summer fishing can be very productive with a variety of flies, lures, and natural baits. These open meadows are an ideal place to practice your fly casting. Terrestrial flies like foam hoppers and ants can provide some exciting action during the summer. Focus fishing efforts on early morning and late afternoon/evening.
