This river is open year-round to fishing, but ideal conditions usually begin after snowmelt recedes in late June and continues through early October. In winter, fishing conditions can be challenging, but trout are opportunistic, and anglers can find success even in cold weather. Dead-drifting a nymph fly or slow retrieving a small spinner can sometimes coax larger trout to bite. The river is usually stocked between May and August.
