You're right I should have came! Let's go a little later this week. Went up today for a couple hours hooked 3 landed 2. The whitefish was on a rainbow sow bug and the brown was on a san juan worm. Another week or so that river will be money!

I have driven through the area but not sure where to even begin looking for spots to fish. Is there a lot of private land up there or is it pretty easy to find open space to fish? Are you in the river or just along the banks?

There are fisherman access points in a few places. As long as you have both feet in the water you're fine. It does go through private land though. I mostly stay in the river but have fished off the bank in a few places.
