Butters Creek carries no individual line in the Region 4 table. Regional defaults apply: all Region 4 streams are closed Apr 1 to June 14, trout and char are catch-and-release Nov 1 to Mar 31, and a single barbless hook is required year-round. Handle it as Duncan Lake tributary water, with bull trout release rules where that bucket applies, and confirm the current synopsis before fishing.

Butters Creek carries an official name in the Kootenay Land District (NRCan key JARNW), with its mouth at 51.031667, -117.245833. The local waterway index lists it as roughly 14 km long and stream order 4 (inferred), mid-range on a network scale that runs from 1 for a headwater trickle up to 6 or more for a full river. It drains toward Duncan Lake alongside its upper-system neighbours Stevens Creek and Hatteras Creek. A direct search of the local fish-observation record turned up nothing on Butters itself: its species list is an inferred watershed model, not a documented catch record, so it should not be read as proof that trout or bull trout hold here.

There is no confirmed fishery to describe. No public access note, hatch report, monitoring result or guide trip names Butters Creek specifically. If the creek is accessible and does hold fish, expect the cold small-tributary food base common to Upper Duncan water, stoneflies, caddisflies, mayflies, midges and terrestrials, with juvenile fish or sculpin where the creek connects to larger water, but treat that as an untested hypothesis rather than a documented hatch.

No trailhead, road or put-in has been confirmed for Butters Creek. Anyone moving through the Upper Duncan drainage should handle it as Duncan Lake tributary water on paper until a route is documented.
