CURRENT REPORT
The float season has ended on Rock Creek, making way for wade anglers' paradise!
The Creek has dropped substantially. Flows just above 400 cfs at the mouth. These are perfect wading flows for Rock Creek.
Goldenstones and Nocturnal stones are the stoneflies of choice on Rock Creek now. Our favorite stonefly dry flies include the Clark Fork Stone, Break Dancin' Stone, Water Walkers and Emma's Stone. Fish these on their own or hang a nymph underneath. We are fishing Explosion Stones, Twenty-Inchers, Jig Duracells, flashy Perdigons, Frenchies and TNT Nymphs subsurface.
Not to be forgotten are the PMDs and Yellow Sallies on Rock Creek. It's a great time of year to reach for a Purple Haze, Tilt Wing Dun, Rocky Mtn Mint or Brindlechute on Rock Creek. Other hot dry flies include Stimulators, PMXs, Amy's Ants and Hippie Stompers.
We are also seeing plenty of caddis in the evening, too. X-Caddis and Elk Hair Caddis good on their own or behind a larger dry fly. While they might not be the "main course" out there right now, keep these smaller hatches in mind. They're getting eaten, too!
Streamer fishing is a great way to start the day. Reach for something flashy that will grab some attention in sunny, clear conditions. We like the Lil Kim, Sparkle Minnow, Kreelex and Chicago Overcoat.
Looking Forward
We affectionately refer to this time of year as "bug soup" on Rock Creek! Be sure to head up Rock Creek prepared with all of the above– you never know what hatch you will run into this time of year! Terrestrials like ants, hoppers and beetles are on the horizon.
