Bull River / Highway 56 from Noxon to Troy
Warning: The
last four miles of the Bull River run down through a canyon to meet the Clark
Fork. During spring this section offers some nasty whitewater, and during the
summer the same stretch calls for dragging your raft or canoe over a lot of
shallow, rocky stretches. With the exception of a few lurking bull trout, the
Bull River hosts 8- to 12-inch rainbows and cutthroats. Mostly the river
meanders through bottomland that is posted. The river is narrow, slow, clear
and deceptively deep in places. Once summer arrives, the trout have less cover
and tend to hide in or around grassy tendrils along the bottom of the stream,
as well as those shady banks afforded by willow and tag alder. Floating access
is at the bridges.
