Best fishing for brown trout will be from the Weed Road bridge down to Crooked Creek. Best fishing is from a boat. Anglers can put in boats at Petric Canal and motor upstream or float from Weed Road to Petric. Small inflatables can also be launched at the BLM Wood River Wetland parking area on Petric Canal.

Brown trout are feeding extensively on aquatic worms and earthworms that came out during high flow events. No bait is allowed but artificials such as San Juan worms can work well.
