Summary
The best spots include deeper pools along the Gritty Stone Creek and the confluence near Rock Creek. Shore access is good via Forest Service roads and hiking trails, especially near pull-offs along Gritty Stone Road. No boat ramps—fishing is mostly walk-in. Productive areas include undercut banks, shaded coves, and riffle-run transitions. Trout bite best spring through fall; use spinners, woolly buggers, and small nymphs. In summer, dry flies work well. Confirmed by Montana FWP reports and local angler forums, this area is a hidden gem for fly and spin anglers alike.

Angling Safety Guidelines
Check local fishing rules, seasons, size limits, and license requirements to ensure legal and sustainable angling.
Handle Fish Responsibly
Use wet hands, minimize air exposure, and release fish gently to improve survival rates when practicing catch-and-release.
Choose the Right Gear
Match your rod, line, and tackle to the species and conditions to increase success and reduce unnecessary harm to fish.
Respect the Waterway
Avoid disturbing habitat, prevent bank erosion, and keep a safe distance from spawning areas to protect ecosystems.
Keep It Clean
Pack out all line, hooks, bait containers, and trash—discarded gear can injure wildlife and degrade waterways.
