I guess around St. George, this qualifies as a river! However, I won't complain about names as long as there are trout in it. And there are some small browns to be found in the section of this stream below Pine Valley reservior just inside the National Forest fee area. I just fished for a short time while we were driving around the area seeing the sights, and caught several browns. This short section is near the campgrounds and one of the few stretches of the river that is on public land. It is apparent it is heavily fished. The stream looks like it might be getting that icky algae growing on all the rocks, which could impact insect availability. The fish had relatively large heads and small bodies. Small attractor dry was the ticket. Definitely a fun stop if you are in St. George and want to get away from the heat! There is a longer public section below the town of Pine Valley, but it involves a good hike down into a rocky canyon and is not recommended for summertime. We also drove by Pinto Creek to the north - very small, completely overgrown, high steep banks in the public stretch - not fished.
