Getting in to Fish Camp – February 2017   Leave a comment

Bruce and I went to check out conditions at Fish Camp on February 9th and 10th and found the following conditions. On the 9th we went in from Fenders Ferry Road. There were at least five places like the photosimg_8702-1024x683 below where the road washed out to some degree. Then we had to cross a muddy washout.img_8704-1024x683 img_8686-683x1024

Then we came to slide that totally wiped out the road.

On the 10th we went around to the Pt McCloud access. The road is in pretty good shape until you get to the road fork that goes to Salt Creek. The only really bad spot is about 200 yards before the Squaw Creek bridge just above camp.

Camp held up pretty well. Big water but about 8′ lower than peak flow.

We tried to go to the other side of the slide but got stopped by this about 3/4 mile from camp by this washout.

These are from the Squaw Creek Bridge upstream from camp.

The Headwaters

After years of discussing, wondering and exploring, Bruce and I finally found the Headwaters of Squaw Creek.

It may not The Headwaters look impressive but the water was as sweet as honey!
