Rock Creek, July 20, 2008. Air temp 88 degrees, water temp 52 degrees, approx 550cfs. The creek is still running high, but its clear. Its real tough to fish at the moment, as wading is damn treacherous. The high flows gave the creek a good scouring, and best off all, knocked a bunch of trees in to the creek, so I'm anxious to explore all the changes. I only had a couple of hours to fish, as I helped my brother in law run concessions at the Harley rodeo in Red Lodge. I had to do a lot of bushwhacking to even find a place to stand and cast, but like the eBud, once I found some resting areas, I found fish. As usual, the fish in Rock Creek love a Royal Wulff, and just about any decent drift through some holding water got a strike. Didn't find any big fish, and I suspect they're holding in some deeper stuff that I couldn't get to. But I was glad to see the fellas made it through the runoff. Landed seven fish in all, although I'm guessing I only made 30 casts in the two hours I was fishing. Like the EBud, another couple of days, and it'll be a lot easier to wade up and down the creek.
