CURRENT REPORT
Pretty quiet on the Creek right now. Winter has settled in the Missoula area, including Rock Creek. Fly fishing Rock Creek for the forseeable future will include mostly nymphs and streamers. Staples like stonefly nymphs, worms, and small mayfly or midge nymphs are finding fish. We like the TJ Hooker, DB Stone, Front St Stone, Squirms, Worminators, Prince and PT nymphs. Fish will be the most active between 11am-dark. Not much going on earlier than lunch time, frankly.
Dead-drifting or swinging streamers is also productive this time of year. Heavy jig or articulated streamers like Overcoats, Dungeons, Goldies and other natural-colored streamers will produce a willing fish. They are not aggressive by any means. Winter fishing means lazy fish that don't want to chase an erratic streamer.
Looking Forward
Looks like winter has settled in here in Missoula. Small, warm windows will produce fish on nymphs and streamers for the forseeable future. Now is a great time to hit the vise in anticipation of spring!
