Rock Creek Fishing Report

Tip of the Week Rock Creek has settled into clear wading flows. The mornings offer fantastic terrestrial and caddis fishing before the bright sun hits the water. Target fast-moving pocket water, shaded log jams, and tailouts where oxygen levels remain highest. With the lower water wading access is super good right now. Keep an eye on the water temps as we continue through the summer.

***Closed to fishing from boats/vessels July 1 through Nov. 30***

7 Day Outlook Rock Creek is setting up to be hot this weekend with highs in the 80s and lots of sunshine. The rest of the week looks to be the same with highs in the 80s with loads of sunshine.

Best Techniques Running a dry-dropper rig with a size #10 or #12 Tan or Pink Chubby Chernobyl, More or Less Hopper, or foam Ant on top is your best attack on Rock Creek. Drop a size #14–#16 Perdigon, Duracell, or Pheasant Tail nymph 2 feet underneath. If fish are being selective in foam lines or riffles switch to a small PMD or a Caddis for those picky fish.
