Spring creeks can be one of the best winter options when the wind is low. Fish can be caught in a variety of ways. Classic nymph rigs with worms and small Midge nymphs or Beatis nymphs underneath Like Zebra Midges, Micro Mays, Jujubeatis, and dark or natural perdigons. You may also see fish rising to some midges on a nice calm day. Fish either a Griffiths Gnats or a Peacock cluster in fairly small sizes (#18-22) for the best success when you are targeting rising fish. Swinging small soft hackles and streamers can be successful as well.
