The main river and its tributaries are a good alternative if fishing in the reservoirs is slow. The gates at Minersville Reservoir are now closed so the lower river is low. Browns begin prespawn activities and get more aggressive this time of year. Recent surveys show high numbers of browns and whitefish in the river. Water level is low.
Access is good to the top.
The road to the top will remain open until about mid-November or until the first heavy snow. There was a skiff of snow this week. A standard technique for the Boulder Mountain is fishing a black marabou jig. Leech, damsel fly, scud are good patterns for flyfishing. Many lakes are closed to fishing during the winter.
