Summary
Anglers can fish directly from the banks near the bridge, a known productive area. The river holds brown trout, rainbow trout, and mountain whitefish. Spring and fall are prime for trout using nymphs, streamers, and spinners, while summer hatches bring dry fly action. The slow, deep pools and undercut banks are hot spots. No piers or ramps exist, but public shoreline is easily accessible. Early morning and evening bites are best, especially near riffles and deeper runs.

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.
