Spring Creeks |
| Montana is home to many fine springcreek trout fisheries. Some of their names are legendary: DePuys, Armstrongs, O'Hairs, Nelsons, the MZ ranch. Many are within a forty-five minute drive of Bozeman. The fantastic but often challenging flyfishing available on these streams is a result of their steady year-round temperatures. The creeks stay relatively warm in the winter and always cool in the summer. This increases their productivity and makes for consistent and heavy insect hatches. The trout can feed and grow all year. | |||||||||

The numerous fish in these creeks are sometimes easy and sometimes maddeningly difficult to catch but are usually feeding on top. Many intermediate fisherman feel they learn more in a day on these creeks than anywhere else. A stealthy approach and accurate yet fairly delicate casting are usually required. Most but not all of these springcreeks are on private land and an access fee is required to get to the best water. | ||||||||
