Open year-round. Fishing above the marsh is best for redband trout near the Rock Creek campground. Areas upstream are best for brook trout. Look for beaver dam areas for the largest and highest concentration of brook trout. Grasshoppers are abundant in the meadow areas. Large beaver dams occur near the Hanan Trailhead. Look at Google earth for the large numbers of large pools created by beavers. Numbers of fish in some areas are low due to the Bootleg Fire affects.‌

Fishing has been very slow below the marsh. ‌

Fishing below the Sycan Marsh is not recommended as most of the river has been dry most summers.
