The Clavey River

The Clavey River is one of my favorite places to visit. This section of river was hard to access and took us a long time to reach, but was worth it. I took this photo in August 2006. As you can see by the time we arrived it was already noon, the sun was high, and the water crystal clear! We found many wild trout and were able to see them easily, however fishing was difficult at this hour. There were no people around and because of the difficulty of reaching the water I believe this is one of those rare places in California that is kept pristine. Please help your rivers and be involved with the conservation so these valuable resources will remain for future generations! Tight Lines! PM

Hi Paul,

I’m thinking about visiting the Clavey late next week (June 18 or 19) and wondered if you think it’s too early and too high runoff? We’ll likely take the Long Barn exit and follow in to where it crosses at 5,600′. I’ve never fished the Clavey but am eager to experience it’s natural beauty and native trout.

Regards,

Hugh Barron
