The water

It flows into kootenay river within the Kootenay Lake watershed (Kootenay Lake → Kootenay River). It runs stream order 3 (mid-range in the network; the scale runs from 1 for a headwater trickle to 6+ for a river) and roughly 3 km. rainbow trout, recorded here in provincial fish-inventory data (6 records). The fish-passage model expects bull trout, kokanee, Westslope (Yellowstone) Cutthroat Trout here too, since the reach is reachable with no barrier between, though there is no direct record yet. Named tributaries: slater creek.

The fishing

As a small stream, a tributary of Kootenay River, Alyeo 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.
