If you're fishing the upper river and want some "smaller" water, go to where the Warm River flows into the snake. That is our property all around there and there are some deep, awesome holes from the confluence to 300 yards past the bridge. I officially give you permission to walk the property (as if anyone would give you any crap, but the family is up there for the holiday and who knows -- tell them Dave Ballou said you could) and you'll thank me. If you're looking up stream from the confluence, you'll see some old beat down cabins on the left side. That is where an old logging business was, and there used to be a spillway/thing over there where they diverted water in there. If you go up past the bridge and follow the left side, you'll see where they dammed it up years ago. That little area around there is deep and full of monster fish. I've fished thousands of hours there and it is by far the best stretch on the river. Many 20+ browns and rainbows, and even a few brookies that creep down from Robinson Creek (just upstream a half mile -- that's another awesome river if you get bored -- just watch out for the land owners, they SUCK)
Of course, this is only if you get tired of the big snake and want some easier water. I wish I were there... so badly...
