Birch Creek Report - windriver - 07-22-2011
irst of all I am normaly against posting creek reports with the creeks being named. That being said Birch Creek is a family fishing water, heavily stocked and I don't see it being fished out anytime soon.
I have been a couple of different times in the last week. The first time I took my nephew to work on his flyfishing merit badge and the second time I took one of my sons to work on his flyfishing skills.
Both trips were a huge success. The brookies and rainbows were taking most anything with a drag free float.
The best fly was the royal wolf, small cricket patterns were also good. The renegade didn't work as well this time. Overall we fcaught a ton of fish and I would recommend this as a place for the beginning dry fly fisherman to practice.

Thanks for the report on that place. I find it funny that guys get their underwear in a bunch whenever the name BC is mentioned. After all it is on the DWR website for reports and stocking and it is quite a far drive from the metropolis. I am with you, I doubt it is gonna get fished out anytime soon as well.
What were the sizes on those fish? I hear there are some big one's in there.

All of the fish that we caught were small. They are really pretty little fish. We caught a lot more rainbows than I have in the past. Usually I catch many more brookies than rainbows, but not this time.

I think there is a little misunderstanding going on. Windriver is talking about Birch Creek the creek which is west of Idaho Falls. It has small planter rainbows and brook trout. A twelve incher is a nice fish there. Great place to take the kids. [cool]
I think you are thinking of Birch Creek Reservoir in northern Utah which is known to have some nice fish in it but it is a ways to go to from either Salt Lake or Idaho. [
]Nice report Windriver. It is always good to hear about the kids having a great adventure and learning some life skills! Way to go!!!
