Fish Lake |
Open |
Ice still measures over 20 inches. Fishing pressure is light as many anglers have started to focus on open water fishing at other lakes. Fishing is fair to good for both small to medium trout and perch, but can vary by location, so move around until you find active fish. Perch and small trout are closest to the weed line, while larger trout are found a little deeper. You can also find trout suspended over deeper water. If not satisfied with your success, change up something - tackle, bait, depth, or location. Moving just a few yards down the weed line can make a big difference, especially if targeting perch, which don't cruise as much as trout do. If you really want a lot of perch, focus on the north and sound ends where the weed line is wider. Perch are more sparse in the middle areas. Fishing can also be better if you move away from areas that have seen a lot of pressure. |
|
Johnson Reservoir |
Open |
Ice fishing pressure is almost non-existent due to poor access. Those who try can sometimes find good success for small perch. |
|
Fremont River |

UM |
Open | No current reports available. |
|
Mill Meadow Reservoir |

Over ten inches of ice reported. Mixed reports of slow to fair fishing for browns and rainbows. |
|
Forsyth Reservoir |
Open |
Over ten inches of ice reported. Mixed reports of slow to fair fishing. We have received reports of a handful of yellow perch being caught. The reservoir was treated in 2012 to remove illegally introduced perch and it appears that someone has illegally stocked them again. |
|
Thousand Lakes Mountain |
Open |
Ice fishing pressure is very light due to poor access. |
|
Boulder Mountain Lakes |
Open |
Many lakes have ice and access is limited by snow. You can often find good fishing and have the lake to yourself if you can get there safely. Some Boulder Mountain lakes are closed to fishing for the winter (until April 2021.) Check the Utah Fishing Guidebook to see which lakes are closed. |
|
Lower Bowns |
Open |
No recent reports on access, ice formation, or fishing success. |

| Sevier River (Upper), Asay Creek | Open | (Good) Small trout are abundant in the East Fork and some of its tributaries. Brown trout get aggressive in the fall as they prepare to spawn, so try fishing streamers or flashy lures. Egg patterns are also effective. |
| Sevier River, Marysvale Canyon | Open | (Slow) Surface ice makes winter fishing fairly difficult. The ice should start breaking up at any time. |
| East Fork, Sevier River, Black Canyon | Open | (Good) Flows are low and clear. Brown trout get aggressive in the fall as they prepare to spawn, so try fishing streamers or flashy lures. Egg patterns are also effective. Special regulations include the use of artificial flies and lures only and a limit of two trout. Some private land is closed to trespassers, so watch for the signs. |
| East Fork Sevier River, Kingston Canyon | Open | (Good) The irrigation releases from Otter Creek have ended and the water is low, so tread lightly to avoid spooking fish. Brown trout get aggressive in the fall as they prepare to spawn, so try fishing streamers or flashy lures. Egg patterns are also effective. There is public access on a section of Kingston Canyon, midway through the canyon. This access was purchased through the Blue Ribbon Fisheries program. Look for the signs. Most of the canyon is private and posted, so ask permission before venturing off the trail. |
