Fishing Conditions and Hatches: Fishing on Rush Creek is fair to good. This is the time of the year we all dread, the run off is about to taper off, so the water temps are increasing. Fishing will be good in the cooler time of the day. Dries have been the most productive fly. Fish the undercut banks in the general reg section of Rush Creek (between Silver lake and Grant Lake)
