It's hard to believe we're 22 days into the new year...I've had an old song running through my mind on loop for several weeks now. Tracy Lawrence did it some time ago, the 1990's I think - Time Marches On. The part I can't seem to shake is one verse and the chorus... The [...]
Greetings from Rock Creek! I can't believe it's been 2 years since I last wrote here...for all those that were wondering what I would do after closing the fly shop, needless to say, the Trout Bums crew hasn't had any trouble staying busy. We closed the shop at the end of 2018, and [...]
Rock Creek Trout Bums 43 mins · Well, it's almost a wrap on 2018. 2019 will bring a few changes here at Trout Bums, but even though there will be changes, most things will stay the same. For some reason, my announcement about closing the fly shop has caused some confusion about renting cabins. First, let's [...]
Well...it's been quite a winter! The Upper Clark Fork region, of which Rock Creek is a part of, is at over 150% of normal snowpack. There is still 13 inches of hardpacked snow in our field, and just 3 days ago I fell on the ice walking between our house and the shop...but still, there [...]

To squash any rumors stating otherwise, the upper Clark Fork down to Rock Creek and Silverbow Creek are the only sections of [...]
Greeting from Rock Creek!!! I can't believe we're just about to turn another page on the calendar - and see that it says JULY!! They say the years go faster as you get older, but gosh it just doesn't seem like it should be July already. That being said, it's time to catch you up [...]
News from Rock Creek...I guess it's just about time to get this party started. This Saturday (5/20) is opening day of fishing season. That means the small streams will be open, AND that those of you that like to keep a few fish to eat will be able to do it. Unfortunately, all the [...]

It’s another grey, winter day…this winter has been no longer than any other winter, but it’s been real. That’s the difference. We’ve gotten used to mild winters with warm days. This year though, has been the 3rd coldest on record. We didn’t get much new snow in January, but February has been double what is [...]
