The water

It flows into Aylwin Creek within the Slocan River watershed (Slocan River → Kootenay River). It runs stream order 2 (high in the network, near the headwaters; the scale runs from 1 for a headwater trickle to 6+ for a river). No fish records for this water in provincial inventory data yet.

The fishing

As a small stream, a tributary of Aylwin Creek, Wild 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.
