Summary
Best spots include shoreline access near the Whirlpool Angler Trail and river bends near the Canoe Landing, with fly fishing from shore being popular. Boat access is limited to small watercraft; no large ramps nearby. Key species include brown, brook, and rainbow trout, with prime action in spring and fall. Use dry flies (Adams, Elk Hair Caddis), nymphs, or spinners. The river’s cool, clear water and deep pools are hot areas. Wading and walk-in access are common. Check local regulations—some sections are flies-only or catch-and-release.

Angling Safety Guidelines
Check local fishing rules, seasons, size limits, and license requirements to ensure legal and sustainable angling.
Handle Fish Responsibly
Use wet hands, minimize air exposure, and release fish gently to improve survival rates when practicing catch-and-release.
Choose the Right Gear
Match your rod, line, and tackle to the species and conditions to increase success and reduce unnecessary harm to fish.
Respect the Waterway
Avoid disturbing habitat, prevent bank erosion, and keep a safe distance from spawning areas to protect ecosystems.
Keep It Clean
Pack out all line, hooks, bait containers, and trash—discarded gear can injure wildlife and degrade waterways.
