Thinking about trout....Kosk?

[BobVP]

I will be out and about in a month or so and I am always searching for new (to me) small streams.
The latest one to cross my mind feeds the Pit. I have seen it spelled KOSK and KOSH.

Are there fish? Any insights?

Thanks

We fished the Pit River for many years but never saw or heard of Kosh/Kosk Creek?

Found this on the web......


From Redding, head east on 299 for about 30 miles to Big Bend Road. Turn left and follow until Big Bend. Continue past the general store, across the bridge. The road will change from cement to gravel, and the road changes to Forest Service Road 11 (FS11). Follow FS11 for two miles (note: Watch out for and avoid FS 3702, which turns off to the right about .08 miles in). You will come to a bridge over Kosk Creek. Park near the bridge (do not cross over bridge) and there will be a cow pasture on the left. To avoid private property, follow the trails to the right along the creek and it is roughly a half mile walk to the Kosk Hot Springs. To find Hunt Hot Springs, follow the steep trail behind the pools over the hill.

I can confirm that there are fish in Kosk Ck. I fished it a few years ago while on the Pit. It's a cool little creek that holds some nice fish. It's crystal clear though, so you gotta be a little stealthy. I only fished it for a couple hours, but had some decent action. Mostly 8-10"ers, but I got a couple pushing 14". It's 3wt water.
