About Beaver River - Upper

The Beaver River, flowing through Central Utah's Fishlake National Forest, offers a scenic mountain canyon fly fishing experience. This area is known to hold trout, with opportunities for both dry fly and nymphing. Anglers can expect hatches of Blue Wing Olive, Golden Stone, and Caddis flies throughout the season. The river is accessible via Highway 153, also known as the Beaver Canyon Scenic Byway, which provides access to the upper sections of the river and nearby lakes. For those seeking a more remote experience, primitive camping is available along the river and in the surrounding national forest.
