From the confluence of un-named tributaries on Forest Service property down to Troxell diversion.
From Dubois, go about 10 miles east on Highway 26/287. Look for a sign on your left next to a good gravel road with separate signs indicating the East Fork Road and the WGFD Spence/Moriarity and Inberg/Roy WHMA. Turn left here and go about 6 1/2 miles to the bridge over the Wiggins Fork (enters from the north). Continue on the East Fork Road about another 3.5 miles to the crossing over Bear Creek. Turn left (north) on the road just before crossing Bear Creek and follow it about 5 1/2 miles to its end at the upper Bear Creek campground. The instream flow segment extends about 7 miles upstream from the Troxell diversion that's located in the campground. Be aware that this is grizzly bear country and you would be wise to carry bear spray as you fish this segment.
