Description
Within Coller SWA
This river provides excellent angling opportunities through shore, wading, or float fishing. There is lots of reasonable access, and this section has multiple habitat structures that hold large numbers of fish. It meets Gold Medal standards for the number of larger fish; however, biomass estimates are slightly below the Gold Medal standard.
Special Regulations
1. Fishing is by artificial flies and lures only.
2. The bag and possession limit and maximum size for brown trout is two fish, 12 inches in length.
3. All rainbow trout must be returned to the water immediately upon catch.
Be a Pain in the ANS!
If you use water, aquatic nuisance species (ANS) can affect you. For example, Zebra and quagga mussels clog up the infrastructure that delivers water to our homes. Keeping invasive species under control is a matter of public health.
