Best time to fish Fremont River
The DWR has stocked Fremont River 12 times over the last 6 seasons, and 100% of those plants landed in April — the freshest fish and the easiest bite usually follow within a week or two of a stocking. Flows typically peak in March (about 87 cfs median) and settle to their lowest in June (about 56 cfs) — the wadeable, clear-water window usually opens once flows drop below the seasonal median, and the 72-hour chart above shows where today sits against it.
