Bear Creek River Report

2-10-2025

A good number of areas on Lower Bear Creek are back open, but most of the canyon remains icy and slow. That being said, expect ice to reform over many areas with the forecast looking to turn very cold Tuesday and Wednesday. Fish will still be in the deepest water available. Midges have been the primary hatch.
