TYE RIVER

Are you a blueliner looking for some rarely accessed water? Our private stretch on the Tye offers an experience like no other. Have an entire brook trout stream all to yourself. This is a high gradient stream that can be difficult to wade as large boulders and fallen trees create deep pools and a steep canyon. Catch our native trout and have a lunch by a 40’ private waterfall, then fish the afternoon or hike nearby Crabtree Falls. Experienced anglers welcome.
