There i s great walk and wade access but the terrain is difficult with large snot covered bowling balls covering the river bed. Those with strong wading ski lls and a stout wading stick only need apply.  The river is broken up by multiple power houses each with their own characters. Primary a nymphing r iver either by indicator or tight line. Rubber legs and dark lords and lot s of weight (bring lots of both).\n\nBaum Lake: Stocked and great for a s mall float tube or kayak.
