Summary
Anglers target rainbow trout, brook trout, and cutthroat trout, with peak fishing in spring and early summer during runoff. No boat ramps or piers exist; access is primarily shore-based or via wading. Small inlets and undercut banks are productive spots. Fly anglers use dry flies and nymphs (elk hair caddis, beadhead prince nymph), while spin anglers succeed with small spinners and worms. The area is lightly pressured and scenic, making it ideal for quiet, walk-in fishing with traditional trout gear.

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.
