I'd like to know how the FR40 road is out of pomeroy. Can I get through to troy yet? Anyone been up that way? Seems the snow melt is early with warm dry April.

not really early. Ive been steelheading the ronde for 30+ years and they had more snow in early April than I have seen in a decade or more

I'd call the store in Troy. They're good about this kind of info usually. My guess is you'd have to go around.

Hoping someone can comment. Leaving tomorrow from the west side. Planning on driving HWY 12 over then on to Asotin and down 129 to Troy and then back up and in. Any reason I won’t be able to make it to Three Forks area on that route?I am pretty sure you will be fine til at least 3 forks. After that it's a crap shoot

I made it to three forks a couple weeks ago. Came LaGrande through Troy. Zero snow.
Good luck!

I get there Wednesday and staying through Sunday or maybe Monday morning. Headed however far past Three Forks I can get and still find a decent campsite. Will be in a Blue Ram 3500 with a canopy and bull bar.

It loops back around to the 40 rd that eventually goes to pomeroy. But the snow won’t allow it right now.how do you get farther then three forks?? All it does is loop back around from there.I made it to three forks a couple weeks ago. Came LaGrande through Troy. Zero snow.

exactly, it loops back around. Been there lots of times. If he wants to get to the 40 take the grouse flats pomeroy rd. You may not be able to get to some of it, but you can come from both endsIt loops back around to the 40 rd that eventually goes to pomeroy.

He was talking about coming up from troy to the threeforks area and beyond (north of). Not coming south down the 40. Just a little internet miscommunication. No way you are making it from Pomeroy to threeforks via 40 right now.

Start at 3 forks and take trail down, cross 1st creek, second creek, continue north . Shoot bear, take lots of pics cuz you won't ever be down there again :-) :chuckle:true statement! This is the best we got on this coming weekend 2 years ago. Scored 20 2/16”. Squared 6’8” , you’re hitting it at a good time

On my way over now - this brings up my other question I’ve been debating. Hold out for something big or shoot the first boar I find?

If you have never killed a bear, not sure how picky I'd be, just watch out for sow's with cubs they can hide really well. It's not a gimmie over there, sometimes it takes a bit to find one. If you are good at telling the difference try to shoot a boar, but it's not that easy, it has taken me years to make a good guess on the sex. Now I have seen some huge sows and if I hadn't shot the boar chasing one in 17', I'd had been very happy to shoot the sow, she was a monster. Be patient, sit and glass, keep that wind in your favor. Be ready at all times, you never know when one will show up. And take care of the meat, they are good eating. Good luck man, I'm jealous!Start at 3 forks and take trail down, cross 1st creek, second creek, continue north .

Sent you a Pm. Got to the dry camp at the intersection below Saddle butte. North side of that hill had heavy snow but melting fast.
Anyone know if you can get over Bluewood or any other entrance into Wenaha?
