Williamson River

The Williamson River is a blue-ribbon trout stream divided in two sections. Although each section can give exciting challenges, they can also pay out with hefty rewards. The lower river is where most of our trips take place, and the average catch is between three and six pounds, with ten plus pound fish frequently testing your drag.

With prolific hatches of Hexagenia's, BWO's, PMD's, Mahogany Duns, and Trico's, it's no wonder these fish grow to such proportions. Even with all these hatches, it's difficult for a Trophy Williamson River Redband to resist a leech or baitfish imitation swinging through the current on a clear intermediate sinking line.

The Upper Williamson is distinctly different than the lower part of the river, but the fishing can be just as exciting. The Redbands are slightly smaller in size, but the Brook Trout are just as willing to slurp down your Hexagenia or Black Drake imitation while you're enjoying the scenery of a beautiful ponderosa forest.
