How to Fly Fish Rocky Ford
Creek
Rocky Ford can be a challenging fishery, especially if you don't have an
experienced fishing partner to show you the way! We will teach you
what flies to use at Rocky Ford, when to fish it, how to approach the fish,
and how the flies will change with the seasons.
What Flies to Use at Rocky
Ford
Rocky Ford is one of the best streams in WA to land true 4-5 pound Rainbow
trout on a fly rod. It is a spring creek fishery that offers great year
round public access and consistent water conditions. You never have to
worry about ice flows or spring runoff at “The Ford”! Every fly fisher
owes it to themselves to experience this challenging fishery. It can be
crowded, and the fish may be picky, but just seeing these big trout in their
natural state will give you a new perspective of the term “presentation” in
fly fishing.
