Thread: Silver King Creek

  1. #1

    Default Silver King Creek

    Has anyone fished this area? Also Wolf creek is close by. Seems like there is a road before Heean lake you can take out to Silver king.

    Thanks,

    Frank

    I've fished it a few times. The road you see on the map was used by ranchers when they ran cattle in the area, which I'm pretty sure they no longer do. The only way into SK now is to HIKE.

    If you walk in make sure you know what sections are open. Lots of closed waters back in that area for the Paiute Cutts.

    Might want to check with local agencies to avoid any nasty surprises........

    Davkrat is correct. Lots of it is indeed closed for angling to protect the Paiute Cutt, but there are sections that are indeed open to angling. The trick is knowing what parts ARE open. A GPS is helpful in that regard. The EF of the Carson is also closed above the falls to protect the Lahontan Cutt, so a careful study of the DFG regs in order if one plans to fish the area.

    Gary, the owner of the website Kneedeep linked to, is a very knowledgeable guy, a fisheries biologist I believe, and he certainly knows his stuff when it comes to native trout like the Paiute and the Lahontan cutts.

    haven't been up there for years and years, but it is some beautiful country. Definitely worth figuring out what's open and hiking in.

    Had the privilege of going on some TU work trips back in the Leo Cronin days. Even caught a few Paiutes on a fly.

    I'm going to have to check it out again...

    Silver King is open to fishing below the confluence of Tamarack Creek, which is about 3 miles below Llewelyn Falls.

    And to add to chemdoc,

    ...open to fishing below the confluence of Tamarack Creek downstream to the confluence of Snodgrass Creek. And BTW the regs aren't super clear, but no fishing on tributaries like Coyote Creek and Corral Creek.

    Headed up there in a couple of weeks...
