Summary
Popular spots include shallow riffles and deeper pools just below the bridge. There are no public boat ramps here, making it ideal for bank anglers. The Elk River is stocked with rainbow and brown trout, especially productive in spring and fall. Ultralight spinning gear with inline spinners, small crankbaits, or PowerBait works well. Fly anglers succeed with nymphs and dry flies during hatches. Look for trout near structure and cooler pockets. Fishing pressure is moderate, and mornings offer the best bite.

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.
