About this water

The Taylor River below Taylor Park Reservoir is a world-class Gold Medal tailwater fishery known for enormous brown and rainbow trout, with fish regularly exceeding 24 inches. The cold, clear water releases from the dam create ideal conditions for year-round trophy trout fishing. Midge and small nymph patterns are most productive, and the river demands precise presentations to selective fish.
