A Legendary Idaho Fishery

Spring-fed tributary to the Warm River; 26.0 miles in Fremont County. A posted section - from the bridge near the Parker (Scheuller) cabin upstream to the State Highway 47 bridge - is closed to fishing, and lower reaches cross private ranch ground. Elsewhere, trout are catch-and-release from December 1 through the Friday before Memorial Day weekend. Check current IDFG rules and posted boundaries before fishing.
