London Creek is a small tributary of Perry Creek, itself a lower St. Mary River classified tributary near Cranbrook. No direct fish records turned up for the creek, and no guide lists it as a destination, so it reads as a regulation-and-access check rather than a proven water.
The water
London Creek carries an official name in the Kootenay Land District, at 49.511667, -116.064444 (key JARZD). It flows into Perry Creek, which in turn feeds the St. Mary River. Available mapping traces only a short second-order branch (order 2, near the headwater end of a scale that runs from 1 for a trickle up to 6 or more for a full river), and no direct fish observations were found on it.
The fishing
With no confirmed fish presence, no access information and no guide coverage, there is nothing here to plan a trip around. If the creek does hold fish, treat it as small-water cutthroat habitat first: a light rod, a stealthy approach, and flies sized down for a tiny stream. A small Adams, Royal Wulff or Stimulator up top, and a Elk Hair Caddis, Hare's Ear, Pheasant Tail, Prince or Copper John underneath, cover the same stoneflies, mayflies, caddis, midges, terrestrials, fry and sculpin that the wider Perry drainage sees. None of that is a reason to fish blind water without confirming presence and access first.
Leave the nursery water alone
Conditions
- Navigability: no channel-geometry data was returned for London Creek specifically; treat it as a small, wadeable headwater branch until it is field-checked.
- Stocking: no stocking record. There is no evidence this water carries a fishery at all.
Access and the rules
No access route, trailhead or parking has been confirmed for London Creek. The nearby St. Mary Angler and Three Bars Ranch operate on the St. Mary and Perry corridor generally, but neither lists London Creek specifically, so treat them as parent-water context rather than proof of access here.
