Blue Ribbon Trout Fishing
With more than 2000 fish per mile, Rock Creek is a crystal-clear river that divides the Sapphire and the John Long Mountains in Western Montana. Rock Creek offers some of the best fly fishing in Montana.
Easy River Access
Access to the river is ample between the 1 and 32-mile markers. In the first 12 miles, there are fishing accesses about every 2 miles, with turn-outs for parking in numerous places. Between the 12 and 32 mile markers, most of the land is part of the Lolo National Forest. National Forest lands are open to the public. Above the 32 mile marker, access is limited to bridge crossings and places where the river meets Rock Creek Road.
Montana Fly Fishing
From the upper reaches of the river to its confluence with the Clark Fork River, Rock Creek boasts awesome fly fishing. Fish dry flies April through October.
Lots of Hiking Trails
The Lolo National Forest surrounds the cabins. There are numerous hiking trails that begin in the Rock Creek Valley. Favorite hiking trails include Trail 10, Welcome Creek, and Grizzly Creek. Trail 10 is located near the Valley of the Moon – mile marker 2. The trail is steep but the views of the valley are worth it!
Welcome Creek begins at the swing bridge near mile marker 14. Cross the bridge over Rock Creek and follow the trail up the Welcome Creek drainage. Grizzly Creek Trail is found off Ranch Creek Road. The trailhead is very scenic. The woods trail winds along Grizzly Creek. There is a picnic area near the trailhead.

In late March, the weather warms and the fishing picks up. April fishing can be terrific – just before the run-off. May warms the winter’s snowfall and the river is swollen. June is when the river has its famous salmonfly hatches. The Golden Stone hatch follows in late June. July through October bring some of the season’s best fishing. In fall, upland bird hunt for mountain grouse on the Creek or hunt whitetail deer.
