Armstrong Spring Creek

Armstrong Spring Creek is a classic, flat water, meadow stream that varies in width from 50-100 feet. Intense hatches of midges, caddis, and mayflies throughout the season make for some world class dry fly fishing and terrific sight fishing with nymphs. These are wild beautiful, fish that average a solid fourteen inches and often exceed twenty. Most of the trout are acrobatic rainbows, but some very nice browns and cutthroats are present.

The view, with the high Absaroka mountains as a backdrop, is breathtaking. Access is limited to 12 anglers
each day, and a daily rod fee is charged. The peak season rate (from June 15-September 14) is $100/rod. The rate in the spring and fall (April 15-June 14 and September 15-October 14) is $75, and the winter rate is $40/rod. For reservations, call the O'Hair Ranch at 406-222-2979. We do reserve some space for guided trips, so please call or e-mail us for details on availability.
