Kent,
The Conservancy section of Silver Creek is open to the public.
All that is required is that you sign in at the office. Otherwise, by
driving down stream, you will find the public accesses (like Point Of
Rocks) in the ranchlands. Also, for fishing info, more has been
written about Silver Creek and it's hatches than any place I
know.
Here is a little something Preston showed me the other day. It's
pretty funny stuff.

David James Duncan on guides:
"Consider the osprey, the heron,
the kingfisher. How much verbiage and instruction do these
fish-catching geniuses bestow on their unschooled young? None. These
prodigies pass on the primordial art by feeding their young vomited up
trout, which naturally makes the young yearn for nonvomited trout,
which in turn makes the young sit up in the nest and observe their
folks more closely, till it hits them: Eureka! I don't have to
squat in this shithole eating puked up fish all day! Look at Mom and
Dad out there catching fish! Look at my wings, my beak, my talons!
I've got everything they've got! What the hell have I been thinking?
I CAN GO FISHING MYSELF!
Anglers! Look at
your guides on their days off, unguidedly catching fish after fish!
Look at your legs, your arms, your rod! Feel the heft and the synaptic
whir of your big cerebrum! You've got everything they've got!
What the hell have you been thinking? GO FISHING YOURSELF!"
