General Info

Specific Tips

Search with terrestrials mid-day if you don't see active hatches. Ants and beetles are go-to's. A dry-dropper is a great summer-low water technique. During hatches, fish generally slide out to pools and tailouts to feed on dry flies. Rising fish can appear anywhere on Spring Creek, so keep your eyes open!
