Leeds Creek is a very tight stream with branches and in some places the canyon wall limiting your casting. It's not a good place for a 9 ft 5 wt. I use 1 and 2 wt rods from 5'8" to 7' in length. It's fishable in winter right as you cross the bridge entering the National Forest and upstream for many miles.. Sometime I even hike down 50 yards from the bridge and fish up. Don't bother going further downstream. This lower stretch is slightly easier to fish and catch fish if you aren't used to fishing these very tight spaces. Good news is in winter you don't have to worry about rattlesnakes.
Got it. I don’t have anything that size. My smallest travel rod is 8’6” 5 wt so we will have to make it work with that. I found the access point you are talking about and man it is tight looking. I’m just hoping to catch a couple. Looks like a lot of sling shot casting too. Not having to worry about rattlesnakes is always a plus!
One more thing, any recommendations for certain nymphs working better than others? Thanks
