Limerick Creek is a small tributary of Perry Creek in the St. Mary River drainage of BC's East Kootenay. Provincial fish-inventory data holds exactly one direct record here, logged only as an unidentified fish, so there is no confirmed sportfish population, just a name on the map and a set of regulations to respect if you're passing through the Perry Creek system.
The water
Natural Resources Canada lists Limerick Creek as an official Kootenay Land District creek, key JADMD, at 49.450833, -116.116389. It joins Perry Creek, which in turn flows down to the St. Mary River near Cranbrook. No stream-order, channel-width or discharge survey has reached this creek in the data checked, so there is no channel geometry to report here, only the drainage relationship and a single presence record for fish in general.
The fishing
With a single unidentified fish record and no verified guide coverage, Limerick Creek is not a confirmed destination fishery. Don't assume trout: the one record on file could not be identified to species, and it is the only evidence of fish life logged for this creek. If a westslope cutthroat trout, bull trout or brook trout does turn up, fish it like the rest of the small Perry Creek tributaries: short drifts with an Adams or Elk Hair Caddis on top and a Hare's Ear or Pheasant Tail underneath, with quick, gentle release handling given the catch-and-release rule on native trout and char.
One record, unknown species
Access and the rules
No public access point, trailhead or put-in has been confirmed for Limerick Creek. It sits within the Perry Creek drainage off the St. Mary River road system near Cranbrook, but a specific approach to the creek itself has not been verified.
