Best time to fish Upper Sevier River
The DWR has stocked Upper Sevier River 19 times over the last 6 seasons, and 95% of those plants landed in May through July — the freshest fish and the easiest bite usually follow within a week or two of a stocking. Flows typically peak in May (about 267 cfs median) and settle to their lowest in January (about 57 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.
