Rainbow trout, kokanee salmon and wiper stocking has ended for the winter. If you’re targeting rainbow trout through the ice, tip brightly colored tungsten ice flies or jigs with mealworms or nightcrawlers, and fish them in 10–30 feet of water. A fish finder will increase your success by helping you identify where in the water column the fish are feeding.

Early season ice conditions can fluctuate at East Canyon before the ice stabilizes, so review the Utah State Parks ice safety guide. One of the best places to access East Canyon Reservoir is near the state park boat ramp on the north side of the reservoir. You can access this area via state Route 66. Designated pullouts are also available along SR-65. Visit the East Canyon State Park website for conditions and amenities
