The Rubicon River is one of the American River’s main tributaries. This lovely river is fueled by the headwaters of melting snow and lingering creeks that begin their journey high up in the Sierra’s Crystal Mountains, right in the heart of the Eldorado National Forest.
Fishing the Rubicon River is very popular, with many premier spots. You’ll find brook trout, rainbows and browns in the little brooks above Hell Hole Reservoir. On the river just above the Oxbow Reservoir, access is easy and you’ll have some privacy. Be sure to study up on the special regulations for fishing this river and nearby streams.
The Rubicon River, in northeastern California and just west of Lake Tahoe, covering a lengthy 60 miles through the Sierra Nevada Mountains. With headwaters in the Desolation Wilderness, it flows to Hell Hole Reservoir, into a steep canyon and then to Oxbow Reservoir. Soon thereafter it joins the Middle Fork of the American River. The river is great for fishing and close to superior hiking and 4-wheel driving adventures.
