Imagine the delicate presentation, with eyes riveted in tense anticipation of a splashy rise, as squadrons of salmon flies, silhouetted against the steep canyon walls migrate overhead.  Exotic yellow and scarlet Western Tanangers dart from bank to bank carrying off egg laden salmon flies attempting to complete a timeless life cycle. In a moment of vivid deja vu, you know where you are.....why this salmon fly hatch captures the essence of Rock Creek.

Rock Creek offers many other fine opportunities to add to your portfolio of memories.  As the winter snows recede from the streamside banks, the trout begin to focus on the Nemoura and Skwala hatches......the first "bushy fly" surface action of the season. A crescendo of prolific hatches provides superb angling through the fall season.

Add diversity to your angling experience by exploring nearby waters. Diverge to the pockets and riffles of the "Forks" of Rock Creek and you will be rewarded with solitude while angling for eager westslope cutthrout; and brookies.  Stalk the meanders of Flint Creek for browns and rainbows, or try float tubing for rainbows and brook trout on nearby Georgetown Lake during the iridescent damsel fly hatch.

Jimmy Lee's Place was the first Montana conservation easement for the Montana Department of Fish Wildlife and Parks.  The primary purpose of the easement is to preserve the conservation values of the land. In keeping with the principles of the easement, guests are required to use single barbless hooks and to release all trout.
