Spring Creek Stream Report

Water Temp: high 30's / low 40's

Fishing Overview

Spring is on the low side but fishing well. Bitter cold this week will make getting on the water a chore...good week to tie some flies! Very small BWO and caddis nymphs have been productive subsurface. Water temps have dropped and fish are done spawning, target the deeper slower runs on these cold days. Look out for redds as eggs and fry are still developing.

General Info

Specific Tips

Target the slower water in the winter and fish nymphs slow and deep. 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!
