Stobart Creek is a small, official creek on the west side of the Duncan/Lardeau country, named by Natural Resources Canada at 50.538056, -117.356667 (a separate Lillooet-area Stobart Creek shares the name but not this water). It carries no direct fish record in provincial data, so treat it as a scouting and regulation-confirmation water within the wider Duncan Lake drainage rather than a proven destination.
The water
Stobart runs stream order 2 (near the headwater end of the network, on a scale that runs from 1 for a headwater trickle up to 6 or more for a full river) and stretches roughly 4 km. The local waterway index carries an inferred, watershed-level fish list for the drainage, including westslope cutthroat, bull trout, rainbow and Kokanee, but that list describes the broader west-side Duncan/Lardeau watershed context, not a confirmed catch or survey on Stobart Creek itself. No named-line observation for the creek has turned up in the local fish-record model.
The fishing
With no direct fish record, no fishing report and no creek-specific guide coverage found, there is nothing yet to promote Stobart Creek as a destination. Reel Adventures Fishing Charters covers Duncan Lake at the lake and charter level, but that does not extend to this creek. If you are already scouting the west-side Duncan/Lardeau drainages alongside nearby Le Beau Creek, Rusty Creek and Bigger Creek, all in the same no-direct-record bracket, Stobart is worth a look, fished carefully and away from any staging or spawning fish, but plan the trip around access and regulation confirmation first.
The west-side Duncan/Lardeau creeks share a cold-tributary food base: Stoneflies, Caddisflies (Sedges), Mayflies, midges and Terrestrials (Hoppers, Ants, Beetles) through the season, with fry and Sculpin where habitat allows in the connected basin. No hatch-specific data has been found for Stobart Creek itself, so treat timing as a starting point rather than a confirmed hatch chart. Where legal and away from redds or staging fish, a small Elk Hair Caddis, Adams, Royal Wulff or Stimulator on top, a Prince, Hare's Ear or Pheasant Tail underneath, and a small Woolly Bugger for fry or sculpin, cover the likely food base.
Duncan Reservoir context
Conditions
- Navigability: no channel-geometry data is on file for Stobart Creek. At stream order 2 and roughly 4 km long, expect a small, narrow headwater creek best fished on foot.
- Stocking: no stocking record. Any fish present would be wild.
Access and the rules
No public access note, road condition or trailhead has been confirmed for Stobart Creek. Scout it as part of a west-side Duncan/Lardeau trip alongside Le Beau Creek, Rusty Creek and Bigger Creek, and confirm current road and tenure status before heading in.
