: SIEVER RIVER: East Fork - Flows are high and a little turbid from irrigation releases, however the river is still fishable. Circle Valley Anglers in Circleville report a lot of people stop fishing Kingston Canyon when flows increase but flows have been pretty stable this summer. It is possible to land nice-sized fish using olive and brown wooly buggers in size 4 and 6 and also a variety of sculpin imitations. Circle Valley Anglers in Circleville report their prize fly for this time of year in Black Canyon is a size 16 beadhead caddis pupa either as a dropper or dead drifted alone. Other good choices for summer are size 16 elk hair caddis, X Caddis, pale morning dun emerger and size 14 tan parachute hoppers. The best nymphs in Black Canyon are size 14 prince, size 14 and 16 pheasant tail and size 16 caddis larva. East Fork Upper - Flows are low and clear. Small trout are abundant and will hit a variety of bait, lures and flies. Flashy spinners and nymphs can be particularly effective. Reported by: Utah D.W.R |

| About: -
EAST FORK SEVIER RIVER, Garfield and Kane County. Upstream from Tropic
Reservoir, this stream is located on the Dixie National Forest. It is accessible
by gravel road and contains primarily brook trout and cutthroat trout. A number
of tributary streams in this area are also fishable. Further downstream, in the
Black Canyon area, the stream contains mostly brown trout, with some rainbow and
cutthroat trout. This area is accessible by the county road between Antimony and
Bryce Canyon. Much of the lower stream is on private land, but some access is
available on state trust lands, BLM, and Utah Wildlife Resources property.
ASAY CREEK, MAMMOTH CREEK - Asay Creek west of Highway 89 is on private land and access
is restricted. Public access is possible on much of Mammoth Creek west of
Highway 89. Special regulations apply to a section of Mammoth Creek, check the
proclamation for details. When the outlet gates are shut on Piute Reservoir the
river will clear up in Marysvale Canyon and can provide some good winter fishing
for brown and rainbow trout.
