Summary
Anglers favor drift boat access for floating downstream toward Valley Garden or upstream toward Ennis Lake. Shore access is good along the riverbanks, with wading possible during lower flows. No piers or ramps exist, but gravel launches accommodate boats. The best fishing occurs spring through fall, with dry flies (like hoppers and mayflies) productive in summer, and nymphs or streamers working well in cooler months. Key areas include river bends and riffle-run transitions just below the access.

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.
