What you can catch

• Tiger musky, small and largemouth bass, bluegill, perch, crappie, and rainbow, brown, cutthroat and tiger trout
• Tiger musky anglers generally come from May until July, when water temperatures are right; as water reaches the mid-50s the fish move into shallow coves, points and weed beds

Methods

• Shore or boat: an elevated vantage point helps you spot target fish
• Musky tackle: hard monofilament or fluorocarbon in the 40-pound class, or braided wire; keep lipping forceps or clamps handy and keep the fish in the water as much as you can
• Kids: a small spinner or spoon set out for panfish
• Dead yellow perch may be used as bait at Pineview
• When the shoreline is crowded, try the inlets and outlets; the Ogden River and the South Fork of the Ogden have stoneflies and drakes in May and June
• Winter: ice fishing

Daily limits through December 31, 2026

The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources raised the Pineview limits from July 2 because the reservoir is being drawn down for a new drinking water pipeline and it wants anglers to reduce the fish population:

• 12 largemouth or smallmouth bass (a combined total)
• 1 tiger muskellunge over 40 inches
• No limit on all other species

All other rules in the 2026 Utah Fishing Guidebook still apply.

Access

• Free access for anglers without motorized boats at North Arm, Pelican/Quist Beach and Spring Creek; Windsurfer Beach is closed for construction
• No fishing on or within 50 feet of public facilities such as docks

Included with your trip

• A custom-made, heavy-duty river tube and a PFD (personal flotation device, or life jacket).

To rent

• Cooler tubes: you bring a small cooler, and foam containers are not allowed.

For sale

• Waterproof phone cases are optional and for sale.

• Swim ability matters: tubing suits guests who swim well, and college-age and young adults who are strong swimmers tend to enjoy it most.
• Flip-flop sandals are highly discouraged.
• A long-sleeve shirt may help reduce sunburn and scratches from trees and bushes.
• No glass on the river, and no foam coolers. Coolers over 30 qt are not allowed.
• Staff can refuse shuttle or service to any guest who is intoxicated or brings a large cooler.

Linking tubes

• Parents may link their tube to their children's tube with a short strap the company provides. Linking more than 3 tubes together is not recommended.
• Linking between adults is not recommended: it limits maneuverability and can be hazardous to fishermen in the river, and long ropes and twine are dangerous.

Non-swimmers should go only on a guided raft.

Wear river sandals or shoes that strap to your feet.

• Float through red rock canyons with Class II to III rapids that take some technical boating skill

Check conditions first

Flooding has closed parts of the river area and led to permit cancellations; the notes above and the BLM page below have the latest.

Skills and safety

• Be sure your whitewater skills match the river and conditions, and never boat alone
• Tell someone where you are going and when you expect to return
• Remote rivers through isolated wilderness are hard to get help on; know your limits of swimmer rescue and self-rescue
• Upstream flash floods can raise river levels quickly, and the Navajo Dam in New Mexico controls flows
• Be prepared for extremes in weather, especially cold; wear a wet suit and booties in spring to early summer
• Cell service on the river is intermittent and unreliable; a satellite phone is recommended

Check-in and rules

• A river ranger contacts you before your trip about gear, rules, campsites and conditions; finish this check-in before you launch
• Groups must launch, travel within sight of each other and camp together; no boats may be sent ahead to hold campsites
• No pets between Sand Island and Clay Hills
• Drones are not allowed on the San Juan River
• Carry out garbage, charcoal, fire ash and solid human waste; there is no trash dump at Clay Hills
• Make campfires only in fire pans

Camping and vehicles

• Camping below Government Rapid (about river mile 64) is allowed at nine designated sites only; trips taking out at Clay Hills must reserve at least one
• Navajo Nation land on river left has a year-round camping closure
• Vehicles have been broken into at Mexican Hat, so don't camp or leave vehicles overnight at that launch area
• The Clay Hills take-out road is 11 miles of dirt and may be impassable to 2WD vehicles when wet

The trip

• Guided raft trip on the Sevier River through Class II and III rapids, about 7 miles from departure to take-out in about 2 hours
• Rapids include Big Daddy, and the route passes under Duck Bridge and through Rock Garden

What is included

• A professional guide certified by the State of Utah
• Life jackets and the safety orientation described above
• A ride back to Big Rock Candy Mountain Resort at the end of the trip

Water flow

• The river's flow is controlled by a dam upstream, so there are periods when the water is not flowing and the river can run one day and not the next
• If your reservation falls at a time the water is not flowing, you are offered a Lazy River Float Trip and another activity, a reschedule, or cancellation with a full refund
• If the outfitter cancels for dangerously high or low water, you can switch to another of its activities (zip, float, ropes course and others), reschedule, or get a full refund
• At high water you may need to stop the boat and bring it across the highway mid-journey
