Fall outlook: browns in the lower reaches, campground down to Asay Creek, turn aggressive before spawning and take streamers, egg flies, spinners, Rapalas and jigs. Cutthroat and tigers in the upper reaches can fish good to great, with some to 15 inches. Much of the lower creek is posted private land.
Whirling disease is present; clean and fully dry waders before fishing elsewhere, and never move fish from this creek.
