Not very far below at all. Right below the dam. I caught that trout on a little tube. I was surprised. Everything I put in the water last night they bit on. Worms, tubes, and plastic worms with squiggly tails. So much fun, I can't quit going fishing.

Yup, there is even one on the east side past Heise. But it's more the canyon than a body of water since the S. Fork Snake is right by it.

LOL, I was thinking the same thing! my favorite Black Canyon is on the North Fork of the Clearwater above the confluence with Kelly Creek.

There's another one near Weston, though it doesn't have any fish or water for that matter.

If you get the chance, try a crawfish colored (red) lipless crankbait. Cast and reel fast. You can also use lead headed jigs with a brown 3" curly tail grub. Cast and reel just like using a crankbait, fast enough to keep it off the bottom. I've noticed lots of trout in there this time of year, so you should be able keep picking them up. Throw a white spinnerbait every so often, theirs a bunch of big largemouth bass hiding right at your feet on the concrete wall.

My buddy Scuba dives Sawyers, he dove the 3rd pond last night and said he seen a lot of largemouth, crappie and bluegill on the move, more then normal. He also seen a ton of big cats along the edges right next to shore, plus a few monsters in dug out burroughs next to the boat ramp.

Well I don't have any crankless baits yet. But wow, thanks for all the info. I already am using the 3 inch brown curly tailed grub worm.

I can't wait to go to Sawyers 3rd pond again. I have only been once this year. I have a float boat, and that is fun to put in there. I will try catching those cats too.

I am such a fishing addict.
