I know that the indian land is not effected. All the other land on Rock creek that is private is of coarse fair game. I fished that river and the yellowstone a lot last year and found some big old browns and some of the prettiest cutthroats Ive ever seen.
Flygoddess, If you were guiding on Rock Creek in Altamont then you must have been working for the company that has the only guiding permits allowed. If it was a while ago then maybe it was different. From what I understand, their is only one guiding service that is allowed to take clients on the yellowstone and rock creek. I know you can guide anywhere without a permit in Utah except in national forest. Please correct me if I am wrong
Thats where I work BTW out in Altamont. I fished out there this summer almost everyday on either private ponds or one of the many streams or rivers. It was great to find new waters and see new places. I have fished a lot of places in Utah and that whole area has the closest resemblance to the places in montana that I lived a couple years ago. The fishing is very similar, using almost the exact same stimulators, PMX's and elk hair caddis do the trick the dry flying is incredible. One of the only guide trips that I did last year was with a guy that had not fly fished for 15 years. He had a blast because of the willingness the fish had to take a fly on the surface and he got way too exited and ripped the fly out before it hooked 9 times out of 10 anyways sorry for my long posts that are not having much to do with the first post I should be PMing smaller details anyway I love chatting so send a PM to me if you want to chat more about the area.
