Fang Creek

A creek in the Upper Arrow Lake watershed, a tributary of Tangier River. No fish records for this water yet, so treat it as a regulation-and-access check before committing a day to it.

Fang Creek is a tributary creek flowing into Tangier River. No fish records yet.

The water

It flows into Tangier River within the Upper Arrow Lake watershed (Upper Arrow Lake → Columbia River). It runs stream order 4 (mid-range in the network; the scale runs from 1 for a headwater trickle to 6+ for a river) and roughly 11 km. No fish records for this water in provincial inventory data yet.

The fishing

As a small stream, a tributary of Tangier River, Fang Creek fishes the way creeks of its size do: short drifts with a buoyant attractor dry over a light dropper, working the pocket water and the heads of pools. Match the fly box to the season and confirm against a current local report.
