Bear Creek River Report

3-10-2025

Conditions vary up from Morrison to evergreen. Some areas areas are completely clear, others have unstable ice shelves, and still others will be frozen over. It all depends on the direct sunlight areas are getting. Be sure to look for the areas that get the most direct sun, as these areas will be the most ice free, and have the more active fish. With nice weather, but lows near freezing, you may encounter some skim ice in the eraly mornings. Fish will still be in the deepest water available. Midges have been the primary hatch.
