The river includes a catch and release, fly fishing only section and holds some trophy trout for the experienced angler. Most of these fish are very accustomed to fishermen as well as the flies they try to pawn as naturals. General patterns typically do not produce, though presentation is certainly more important to these educated fish. Accessibility is not limited, as parking is available on the roadside at consistent intervals.

This area also includes one of the State's fish hatcheries and a wildlife education center. Included in Orvis's ranking as one of the top 100 trout streams in the country. Spectacular hatches occur here in the warmer months.
