This river above Green Peter Reservoir gets stocked from late spring through the summer. It was stocked multiple times this year. It was stocked again recently with 2,200 hatchery trout.

Flows on Aug. 19 were around 36 cfs and will continue to drop as the summer continues. Best conditions for fishing are below 300 cfs. Light tackle including flies works best, but bait is allowed. With these hot, dry conditions, cold-water fish such as trout will be stressed. Avoid fishing during the heat of the day - when fish are unlikely to bite - and go out in the early morning or late evening when temperatures will be cooler.

Trout are active year-round, and anglers are allowed to keep up to five fish daily.
