Rock Creek is fishing as well as we can remember for the month of August. The flows bumped up a bit from the weekend rain storms, but it's running clear. There are caddis hatches in the evening, along with nocturnal stones, PMDs, ants, and hoppers available during the rest of the day. Midday hopper and ant fishing on the upper half of the river has been silly good. For dry flies, use chubby chernobyls, more-or-less hoppers, PMXs, water walkers, Bugmeisters, panty dropper hoppers , purple hazes, ant acids, para-ants, dancing caddis, and para wulffs. For sub surface patterns use CDC pheasant tails, purple princes, MacGruber nymphs, OCD caddis, and larger green machines. Small, flashy, slim profile streamers have been enticing the fatties.
