Comments on this site: My favorite property - great cabin!
My son and I fished this property in July for the first time. Many, many
fish and not very selective - anything works. I lost track of how many
"hits" I had on a #16 Adams. Most of the fish were 8-10 inches with a
few 12-16 inches. Came back in Sept with the same results. Got a
beautiful Rainbow behind the lower house in the big, deep pool. Talked
to the owner who asked if the river needed to be stocked again - I
don't think so. There appeared to be more fish here than the C-54
property downstream. I don't know if C-54 was stocked at all. Women may
appreciate the C-54 cabins better than the C-55 cabin which is more
rustic, but right on the water.

Comments on this site: It's just a couple of miles up stream of C54 where we fished yesterday, but the river is quite a different fishery. This section would just be one big long wide low riffle with few sharp bends or deep runs and a pretty difficult place to fish, especially with low water(about 60 cfs today...even lower than yesterday). But they have taken care of that with some serious stream improvements. There are at least three places that we found on the property that have had small dams put in that create long wide deep backups that reach a couple of hundred yards long and almost fish like small ponds. Huge fish were found in each area, but only a dozen or so found there way into our nets. Sight fishing to huge cruising Rainbows is a kick in everybody's book, but it will test all your angling skills on a calm bright 90 degree day. Like C54 huge slabs in the 16 inch to 20 inch catagory was the norm for the day. Watching those big boys chase a Hopper down and devour it reminds you why you drive 4 to 5 hours to a place like this. Like yesterday a few took copper johns, BHPT and the like and a couple took wooly buggers, but this is definately grass hopper country in July! Gene

Comments on this site: Water temp in front of the cabin was 80 degrees. Even the fish in the 3 pools are highly stressed. Flow is down to a trickle. Would stay away from this one until cooler weather and pray for rain.

Comments on this site: Stayed at C54, will try cabin on C55 next time. Met Chuck and Ivan on the lease here. Caught a few fish in the "stream improvements" only in the morning. Fish were showing stress due to water temps. Fish were gathered at the entrance of any fresh water running to the big pools. Either a false spawn or an attempt to get more oxygen, don't know. Flow was < 100 and water was hot, heating noticeably by the afternoon. less than good conditions to fish

Comments on this site: Just an awesome day. Couldn't have been better. Caught all the fish on a dry and a dropper, mostly on the dry. A couple of fish were at least 18" an one 17". Best Flies were s8 Humphie, Hopper and dropper. Orange Stimulator and Royal Coachman. Only fished four hours but could not have had more fun. It was spectacular.

Comments on this site: All the folks in the fly shops say the river is low, but fishable. After 20 miles of dirt road down CR129 I’m at the property. The water is low, but there are a few man-made features on the river that should prove interesting. At the base of the waterfall near the corral I catch a fish on almost every cast. I’m using a Hopper Dropper with a Red Copper John. Half of these fish are taking the hopper. I must have caught or hooked about a dozen fish in this one spot. Later that morning I returned to this spot and pulled out a 20 inch Rainbow. I moved down river to a nice bend with an overhanging tree. It’s the classic holding spot for trout. On the first cast a trout hits the Hopper Dropper like he hadn’t eaten for months. After a few more cast the Hopper Dropper starts to slowly sink and I’m thinking snag. Well the snag turned out to be another 20 inch Rainbow. Once I got him in the net I swear he was the same fish I caught in the waterfall. I’ll never know if it was the same fish, but that’s still two 20” Rainbows before noon. The remoteness of this river sure does have its advantages

Comments on this site: It's beautiful up here. Good time catching fair amount of fish. The water was a little low and mossy. Fishing best in the deep holes. 15 fish in the 13-19 inch range. Only one small fish. Biggest fish took a leach pattern and brown drake w/pt dropper took the most.
