This is the best time of the year to fish rush creek. Water conditions are clear and warm. The section below Grant Lake is getting low already. Make sure and fish each run with stealth. Most fish are small wild fish and stockers. There are some small cad dis on the water mid morning, along with midges. The section above the lake has a good amount of stocked fish. When fishing both sections, a dry/dropper rig works best. Try fishing a size 14 stimulator with a small, beadhead mayfly dropper

Recommended Flies:
Sprout midges, Adams, and flying ants (black or red) # 18-22. Elk Hair Caddis (tans and browns), Adams (tans and grey), small stimulators #16-18. Don\\\'t forget to use little stone and caddis droppers (small stones20yellow or brown, white miracle nymph, and tan or green caddis larvae all in #20-22)..
Above Grant Lake bump everything up one size fly wise.
