DePuy Spring Creek

DePuy Spring Creek is a tributary in Paradise Valley, Montana that flows for about 3 miles between the Absaroka and Gallatin mountain ranges. The water comes from underground aquifers year-round, staying cold and clear throughout the seasons.

The creek has been managed by the Smith family over multiple generations, who introduced methods to preserve the water system and fish populations. This long-term stewardship has shaped the ecological health of the waterway.

The creek serves as a gathering spot where fly fishing enthusiasts practice their craft and exchange techniques. Over time, the fishing community has built its own traditions around this place.

Access to the creek is organized through a daily rod fee system that varies by season. Visitors should check current conditions before arriving and come prepared with appropriate fishing gear.

The constant water temperature and clear visibility make it easy for trout to spot artificial flies from a distance. This demands exceptional casting precision and presentation skills from anglers attempting to catch fish here.
