unless you sled to the boat launch there isn't access that isn't private. there lots of small salmon in there and a few decent togue and trout .havent heard much about the fishing there this year but its been real cold up here so doesn't mean that they aren't getting any just not many fishing it. like was said. in front of any of the tribs. is good. about a 3 mi. sled ride down red river rd. to get to launch that comes out near birch river outlet.
