Flint Creek has been running high and a little muddy. The good thing is that there is fishable water. In our experience, if there is 4"-12" of visibility on the banks, Flint Creek should be very fishable. 

Flint Creek will fluctuate over the next week. Look for flows that are on the way down to have the best fishing experience.

See below for our tips on fishing Flint Creek near Philipsburg.

Here are a few tips for fly fishing Flint Creek:

1. Cast streamers at the undercut banks and let them swing out into the current
