The North Fork river flows downstream from Harman's property. The state will stock trout down stream 1/4 mile at
the Jordan Run Road. If you leave our property, and walk down stream the stream is managed as as Put and
Take by the state.
In Hopeville Canyon upstream of Cabin #15 is an additional 2 miles of stream
for trout fishing. The upstream property is difficult to access because of a river crossing and sheer rock
cliff. If the water volume is down, this section of stream is rarely fished.
