Lower Fish Creek?

[Lonnie]

Apparantly a lot of people don't know how to fish that river. First if you fish from the dam down there is a real chub issue. But if you go through the fishermens access off hyway 6 (you will need 4 wheel drive) It is just after you cross the river headed to price. You don't have those problems, I was there a month ago and did very well on 14-18" browns. They have stocked the lower sections of the river and down through price canyon with about 20000 4" browns for atleast the last 10 years. What few chubs decide to swim down below the first train bridge below the dam (there are 3 in the canyon) Those chubs make excellent feed for the big browns in there. With that in mind think about minnow imitating flies and lures. Muddlers are a personal favorite for me. If you take the downstream access off hyway 6 and stay below the second train bridge area (just up stream from where that road hits the river) There is excellent fishing. Scofeild and the upper level of the stream has always had chub issues off and on between poisonings (3 in the last 50 years) But the lower stream is always good. I would recommend it if you like to target large browns. Good Luck
