A true wilderness stream cutting through the heart of the High Peaks Wilderness, this hike-in water offers one of the region's more demanding pursuits for anglers willing to earn their fishing. The river is reported to hold native brook trout in what remains largely pristine habitat, far from roads and the pressures that attend easier access. Current NYSDEC regulations apply, though the distance required to reach fishable water tends to limit pressure more effectively than any rule. Those who make the journey find a stream that rewards both technical skill and wilderness competence in equal measure.
