East Canyon Creek fishing report
Updated November 7, 2026.
The gauge below the reservoir shows only about 6 cfs, typical of a low winter release. Fish are concentrated and spooky.
If you go, fish long leaders and tiny midges, and keep your shadow off the water. A better fall bet is the Weber near Morgan or Oakley.
