About Kings River
The Kings River above Pine Flat Reservoir flows through Kings Canyon National Park and the Sierra Nevada, offering remote wild rainbow trout fishing in pristine canyon conditions. Upper canyon sections accessible from Kings Canyon Scenic Byway fish well through summer, while the deep wilderness backcountry holds native trout in true solitude.
Regulations
Live CFS data unavailable — no confirmed gauge on the wild trout section. Kings Canyon National Park regulations apply in park sections — check NPS rules in addition to CDFW regulations. General season regulations apply on National Forest sections. California Sport Fishing License required.
