Confirm the current BC freshwater fishing regulations (Region 4 – Kootenay) before you fish; this water is part of the Kootenay River system.

It flows into kootenay river within the Kootenay Lake watershed (Kootenay Lake → Kootenay River). It runs stream order 4 (mid-range in the network; the scale runs from 1 for a headwater trickle to 6+ for a river) and roughly 23 km. brook trout, kokanee, rainbow trout, Westslope (Yellowstone) Cutthroat Trout, recorded here in provincial fish-inventory data (144 records). Named tributaries: dodge creek, blue joe creek, Meadow Creek.

For an angler judging whether the fishing is worth the drive, the stocking record is the fishing report. Boundary Creek is a put-and-take angling fishery, stocked with catchable game fish: 16 recorded releases totalling 289,344 fish (Brook Trout, Rainbow Trout, Westslope (Yellowstone) Cutthroat Trout), last stocked 1957-01-01.

Stocking appears to have wound down after 1957. Confirm whether it is still topped up or now fishes as a residual, wild population. The chart below shows the full release history.

As a small stream, a tributary of Kootenay River, Boundary 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. The stocking record below is the truest read on what you will catch.

Access for Boundary Creek, meaning the roads in, put-ins and any walk-in or seasonal limits, is worth confirming locally before you commit a day. The drainage map shows how the water sits in its valley.
