Maple River
Snowmobile Bridge


   Next to US-31 the snowmobile trail runs over the Maple River on an old R&R bridge. There is a place to park right off the highway in the shade. The photo to the left shows an old logging bridge no longer in use. The area up-stream from here is one of the best for rainbows in this river. The further you walk up, the better.
   Here is the view under the bridge where it remains in shadow all the time. I like to stay way up-stream and float my offering in. You can find some nice fish enjoying the dark if your quiet. A hundred yards down stream from here is the US-31 bridge where you can try the very same thing. Remember to stay low and always stay as far off from your target as you can. Trout are very spooky and have a great sense of smell. They know when you put you hand in the water way down stream.
