Rock Creek


Rock Creek is the smallest of the major rivers we fish, but it is a Blue Ribbon Stream with freestone style and offers rainbows, brown trout, cutthroat in many numbers and the occasional brook trout. This is the river of the Salmonfly hatch.

Rock Creek offers fast and furious action for the fly fisher as the guide maneuvers the boat around corners, boulders and other obstacles. John’s experienced guides are only a few that are authorized to float and fish on Rock Creek and their experience pays off for the fly fisher. Big nymphs and Salmonfly dry flies cast tight to the banks bring many trout up during your float trip.

The fly fisher will never be bored as every corner brings new fishing opportunities and you must be ready to cast with quick responses to explosive strikes to the large dry flies. Guiding experience is important and John’s guides are THE best.

Once the Salmonfly hatch is over, Mayflies, Caddis and Stoneflies hatch on a daily basis. Due to the low water conditions, wade fishing is a must and John’ s guides know right where to go. A smaller freestone stream, Rock Creek offers the wade fly fisher a great fishing experience. But wader BEWARE! Rock Creek is notorious for it’s slippery rocks. Stream cleats are recommended and suggested.

If you wish to fish a smaller river, then Rock Creek is the choice for you. Running through a small canyon area, but with easy access, this river can be a pleasure to wade fish with knowledgeable guides.

Book a day or two and fish the upper, middle and lower stretches with our experienced guides all in a days outing. Always be on the look out for Bighorn Sheep that inhabit the Rock Creek area.

Lots of fish, beautiful freestone river, smaller size and wildlife galore on Rock Creek is a wonderful fly fishing experience.

John is one of only 3 outfitters with a permit from the USFS to float Rock Creek. There are limited days to float this beautiful river, so book early or you might miss out on some wonderful fly fishing.
