Flows are declining and still not very fishable. Water temperatures will be cold. Closed to angling for salmon. Open year-round. Fishing should be slow for Brook Trout up high near Lee Thomas Crossing. You will encounter snow and access might not be possible. Fishing near Sandhill crossing is likely slow. Best Redband Trout fishing is upstream of the lowermost 3411 road bridge. Large brown trout occur in the river. Best Brown Trout fishing is downstream of Boulder Creek to the private property boundary below the 3411 road bridge
