I have been fishing the Carbon/Little Puy for about three years now and I can count on 2-3 fish each winter. I know that doesn't sound like alot, and it's alot of work, but it's so sweet when all the time and work pays off and you actually hook one. The trade-off is the beautiful scenery, and relative lack of pressure compared to the bigger, more popular spots like Reiter, Blue Creek, etc. Sometimes I can go down on a Saturday morning, especially when it's reallllllllly cold and be the only one there. I saw 6 eagles down there last weekend. The Carbon doesn't get a big run, but thy're in there, if you want to work for it and put some time on the water. Another plus for the Carbon is the amount of access you have. If the water is low, you can pretty much fish the entire stream from the mouth to Voight's with a set of waders. Pretty nice.
