First of all the land is not private, atleast there is no tresspassing issues. From colton down to helper. However if you are planning a trip in april that section of the river becomes very muddy durring the run off. It would require some timing , as you would want to hit it as the ice melts, but before run off. If you do not hit it just right you are better off waiting until june. As for flies , it is primarily browns , so think streamers and terestials. I would also tie on a repala or flatfish and drift it under the big rocks.
My favorite stretch is the stretch just above ford creek (there is a small waterfall along hyway 6, That is ford creek. It requires some hiking and is easiest accessed from the bridge over the rive on the emma park road. (road to the left as you start down the canyon) There are some nice streches down there that are great for flie casters. And best of all recieves no pressure whatsoever.I will warn you however that is an area that can produce epic days or skunk days. But I know with the number of browns that have been stocked there over the last several years you should find some good ones. let me know how you do.
