Zach,
Let me know if you have specific questions about Hazel Creek. I know it like the back of my hand. My first backpack/fishing trip to Hazel Creek was in the early 80’s. I’be been frequenting the stream ever since.
I’ve also fished Eagle, Forney and Noland extensively as well.
You’ll be there when the browns are migrating upstream from Fontana. I’ve caught 18 inchers way upstream of the lake in the Fall.
Let us know how it goes.
