Not far at all...I just did a job down there and it takes 1& 1/2 hrs.but even by you if thats were your from thers good fishin in your tribs ...and year we have runs of browns, rainbows, salmon, and, steelies...brown trout eggs are by far the best bait for steelies or bows...im a center pin fisherman and is the best way to go
