Bear Creek is a small creek located just southwest of Denver. The stream is not too wide, maybe 25-30 feet across, with a good amount of overhanging trees and brush making it somewhat difficult to make full casts in most sections. The majority of fish that live in here are brown trout with a few rainbows sprinkled in here and there. Most of them are pretty small, in the 7-10 inch range, but you will catch a 12 incher every once in a while! I have caught most of my fish in this creek on Elk Hair Caddis, Hoppers, and Pheasant Tail Nymphs.
I just discovered you! I love Bear Creek even if it’s difficult to fish and I broke a bamboo rod there once. Happy Holidays!
