    • The creek has a number of deep pools that provide protection for the resident trout.Within the meadow sections, use dry flies with fine tippets

    • There are good hatches of Blue Wing Olives in the early and late season

    • During the Summer, Pale Morning Duns and Gnats are a good choice. Within the deeper pools, use weighted nymphs in the size of #14-18. Streamers such as Wooly Buggers and Dace can get some good takes as well.
