There is plenty of river access, and it would be encouraged that anglers utilize the entirety of the access in order to have the best fishing experience. It is muddy around the banks due to the geothermal water, so boots or waders are recommended.

5 out of 5 stars
This ranch is killer, from the hot springs to the fishing, what an amazing experience. The landowner is so kind, and gave lots of suggestions for hikes in the area and history of the town. There is a cool hot tub that he made from the natural hot springs and some great lodging options. Fishing was a bit slow but I hooked into a handful of trout on streamers. Would have liked to visit later in the summer when hoppers are going off, guess i'll just have to visit again!
