Last updated: July 5, 2026. Verify current DWR stocking rows, regulations, road conditions, and high-elevation weather before keeping fish or choosing a launch.
Latest verified stocking: June 24, 2026 Rainbow Trout (FISH L, Sevier County).
Latest official DWR row: June 24, 2026 Rainbow Trout for Sevier County FISH L: 27,120 fish averaging 1.76 inches. Treat that row as juvenile future-fish context, not an immediate catchable-size stocking signal. Earlier June small-fish context includes the June 22, 2026 juvenile Splake and Brook Trout plants: 36,337 Splake averaging 2.46 inches, 1,100 Brook Trout averaging 2.64 inches, 2,107 Brook Trout averaging 2.61 inches, and 35,031 Splake averaging 2.46 inches.
Catchable-size caveat: the latest catchable-size stocking context still comes from the June 11, 2026 Rainbow Trout row for Fish Lake: 15,572 fish averaging 10.67 inches. DWR also lists a June 17, 2026 Rainbow row of 12,679 fish averaging 3.94 inches; treat the June 17 row as juvenile/small-fish context too. Do not confuse this Sevier County FISH L entry with the separate Summit County FISH LAKE alias.
Current Fishing Report: Fish Lake has verified active 2026 stocking context, including the June 24 juvenile Rainbow row, June juvenile Splake and Brook Trout plants, and the June 11 catchable-size Rainbow row. Treat the small-fish rows as fishery-planning context, then match tactics to season, depth, and whether you are fishing from shore or from a boat.
Shore anglers can start with simple rainbow trout setups when conditions fit, while boat anglers have better tools for deeper lake trout, splake, kokanee, and perch patterns. Keep possible tiger trout separate as broader fishery context unless a current DWR row supports a specific stocking claim.
Verified 2026 Fish Lake rules: the Utah Fishing Guidebook lists no limit on yellow perch; a limit of 1 trout or salmon over 24 inches, regardless of species, counted toward the statewide trout limit; and an ice-fishing hole may not exceed 18 inches.
