Flows are low. Closed to angling for salmon. Open year-round. No bait allowed. Fishing above the marsh would normally be the best . Redband trout fishing is best below Pikes Crossing. Brook trout fishing is best above Rock Creek campground at the deep beaver pond areas. Look at google earth to pick out these areas. Brook Trout fishing is excellent. Fishing is slow below the marsh as the Redband trout population has declined.
