OAK CREEK: Starting January 1, 2023, the catch and release section on Oak Creek has been expanded to include Oak Creek from the Highway 89A bridge at Slide Rock State Park upstream to the Sterling Springs Fish Hatchery property boundary including the West Fork Oak Creek. This section will be catch and release only for trout, artificial fly and lure only, barbless hooks only. Stream flow peaked at 290 cfs on 2/22/2024 @ 4:30 a.m. and recent flow reading of 203 cfs on 2/26/2024 @ 7:45 a.m. Higher flows due to spring runoff may increase turbidity and limit fishing success this week. Cave Springs and Pine Flat Campgrounds are closed for the winter. Anglers are finding success on spinners and flies. Hellgrammite, Simi-seal leech, zebra midge, elk hair caddis, hoppers, and mayfly patterns are a good bet. Now is a good time to target the large Brown Trout that inhabit Oak Creek. Ice may start to form early in the mornings on the slower moving sections of stream near the top of Oak Creek Canyon.
