North Fork Clear Creek and Crazy Woman Creek, WY

WEATHER: Clear, Low 70s


WATER CONDITIONS: Normal


LOCATIONS FISHED: North Fork Clear Creek near North Fork Campground and Crazy Woman Creek at Crazy Woman Campground, BIG HORN MOUNTAINS


FLIES USED: #12 Half Back, #12 Hopper, Big Ugly


ROD USED: 7’9” 2 wt Winston


HATCHES: None


OTHER: Fished with Kay and Dick. After lunch, we drove up into the Big Horn Mountains looking for likely places to fish. Found a great little creek, North Fork of Clear Creek, and fished it beginning with a small hopper switching to other dry flies. Caught 4 fish, including rainbows and brookies. Drove higher up into the mountains and found Crazy Woman Creek in a nice valley, about 8,500 feet, with several beaver dams. Not as much cover as is on the forested creeks. Managed to catch only 2 fish, and missed 10. Will fish it again tomorrow.
