Fair enough. It's not a stream where, in my experience, gets fished out as long as you stay away from access points.
I used to fish the roadless area from Queen up to FR 119, and that always had plenty of stockies even in mid-summer, with some wilds and holdovers thrown in for good measure. It gets hit pretty hard within about 1/4 mile above and below 119. But above that, then, there are miles and miles of water that, in places, fishes pretty well for wild brookies and browns. It's always been kinda spotty, though, in that there are sections that suck and then you come on a good section. The fish come in bunches separated by some unproductive periods. Middle Hickory isn't bad either.
Perhaps I'm off base, but I always avoided the DHALO stretch because it gets POUNDED.
