Xman, hedges -- You may already know some of this information....
Xman -- Most of the river I fish is the East Fork Sevier. This is above Piute Res (before the confluence of the sevier), and above Otter Creek Res. All of the areas I fish are accessible to the public.
The DWR owns land in both Kingston Canyon and Black Canyon. The section of Kingston Canyon land is sandwiched between two sections of BLM. This gives the public access to about 4 miles of river (just guessing on the mileage...) The DWR has placed WMA signs all over the fence on their section of land. It is pretty easy to find. I like to park on the bottom end of the DWR section, and fish upstream through the WMA. I have also fished all through the upper BLM section. I haven't fished the lower BLM section for years. Water is just too slow, and too thick with willows. Don't try fishing the private land above the upper BLM section. You WILL get kicked out.
In Black Canyon the DWR has a coupld different sections of land. One is currently undergoing reconstruction. That is pretty easy to see where that is happening. The other section is from Osiris Mill down a mile or so to a private section. There are parking areas on the DWR land to fish the Black Canyon section.
I hope this helps out. If you need any other info -- or anything more specific, just let me know. I will try to help out as much as I can...
