Closed to angling for salmon. Open year-round. No bait allowed. Fishing above the marsh would normally be the best. Access might be challenging due to snow. 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 very slow. Fishing is slow below the marsh as flows are low.
