**Time to put the thermometer back in the fishing pack. Watch the afternoon water temp. We call it a day around the 70 degree mark. Keep em wet, use a net, size up in tippet, and get the fish in quickly. A few tips we recommend**

The last couple of days, the creek has cooled off a bit giving the trout a much needed break. Water temp was hitting 70 degrees last week. The best fishing these days continues to be on the upper 1/2 of the river, but there are good options here and there on the lower river as well. No fishing restrictions put in place for Rock Creek, but we still recommend taking the evening off, depending on daily weather. Obviously, if we get some cooler weather, game on. Spruce moths, hoppers, THE ANT, never sink caddis, and terrestrials have all been working well for us.
