Rock Creek is still very low for this time of year. FWP has not enacted the hoot owl closures up here yet, but that could change as summer stumbles on. Rock Creek is still fishing quite well, even after the hot weather we’ve seen for the last couple weeks.  Mornings and evenings are where it’s at. The flows are still pretty low but it’s full-on summer fishing. We are seeing caddis and PED hatches in the evening, and golden stones, PMDs, and yellow sallies available during the rest of the day. For dry flies, use chubby Chernobyls, stimulators, bullet head stones, half downs, parachute adams, purple hazes, elk hair caddis, and para wulffs. For sub surface patterns use micro stones, pheasant tails, Pat’s rubber legs, San Juan Worms, caddis pupae, double beaded stones and batman nymphs.

 

HATCHES: Golden stones, BWOs, PMDS, yellow sallies, Caddis

Rock Creek is in a lot better shape, water temp wise, than the other area waters. But is still very low for this time of year. FWP has not enacted the hoot owl closures up here yet, but that could change as summer stumbles on. The dry fly fishing has been very good in the mornings and evenings, but the middle afternoon has been slow in the heat. For top water morning patters, use a parachute PMD, low riding yellow sally, or small goddard caddis. Hopper/dropper rigs during the afternoon is the ticket. There are caddis hatches in the evening, and golden stones, PMDs, and yellow sallies available during the rest of the day. For dry flies, use chubby Chernobyls, stimulators, bullet head stones, half downs, parachute adams, purple hazes, elk hair caddis, yellow sallies and para wulffs. For sub surface patterns use micro stones, pheasant tails, Pat’s rubber legs, San Juan Worms, caddis pupae, double beaded stones and batman nymphs.
