Sheep river falls day use also provides good access to river. Couple of tables and fire pits right on river down stream is the falls and upstream look fishable.
Plenty of places you can see the river from road and judge the climb down. Well worn trails head down that way.
Despite plenty of snow on ground and cold absolutely loved this day trip. The sheep river is beautiful. Ultra clear with rocky bottom and deep plunging pools. The falls was also worth checking out with great view points of the 3 falls. Saw deer,sheep and a close encounter with what I think was a ruffled grose.

I've never had much luck upstream of the falls towards Bluerock. Some good spots downstream in Indian Oils and further down. Beautiful area for sure. We used to snorkel in a few pools upstream of Okotoks. Amazing how many big bulls and other trout there are in that river. Trick is getting them to bite.
