Know what you mean, Jim. I took my 3/4 ton and
camper in there and it was a long, slow, rattling ride in. I've got my Montana
Gazateer in the car so I'll be sure to look this up, if we decide to go fish
this river.
Thanks,
Cliff

Oh,
one thing I should mention about that spot... it's really better to go around
rather than up the Rock Cr road. My buddy Jeff and I dubbed that road
the "brain rattler" - one of the worst roads I've had the experience of
driving and it's supposedly impossible to pull a trailer all the way up
it.
There's a back way to upper Rock Cr - you go further East on I-90 and
turn to the South. I don't recall the name but easy to find on a
map.
Have
fun.

Thanks for your advice. I spoke with the guy at
Rock Creek Merc today and he feels the lower section of the river should be
down fine by the time I'm there, so maybe we'll head that way. I'll have to
think about this spot you've mentioned.
Regards,
Cliff

Just my 2-cents re Rock Creek.
My favorite area is the stretch just below the forks (don't recall
that bridge name). It seeems like every time I've fished it I've had
20-fish-plus afternoons there. I'm always
amazed at how well that river grows cutts and browns. Even
if the flows are up a bit on the lower river I would expect that the
wading/fishing opportunities on the upper river would be good. The
caddis hatches are awesome - but my favorite trip there was in August when
I got to throw a hopper most of the day.
Nice, river-strong browns on a dry fly, does it get any
bettter?

Hello there,
Saw a post in the last couple of days about
Montana fishing which mentioned that Rock Creek was running a little
high. Does anyone know if that's still the case? I'll be over there
(north of Missoula) next week and I was thinking about trying Rock Creek
or the Little Blackfoot. Any advice would be very much
appreciated.
Thanks,
Cliff
