Winding through the forests west of Tupper Lake, this remote river offers wild brook trout fishing in its upper reaches for those willing to make the paddle in from Hitchins Pond. The water remains lightly fished, in part because of the access commitment required, and the fishing is reported to be most productive in the cooler stretches above the flow. Current NYSDEC regulations apply to all angling. The combination of solitude, challenging navigation, and the chance at native brookies makes this an expedition suited to experienced paddlers with backcountry skills.
