No Coon Creek-specific entry appears in the Region 4 synopsis. It sits in the Trout Lake tributary bucket alongside Ferguson Creek, where bull trout are catch-and-release, but the local waterway index marks it no-sportfish. The regional defaults still apply on paper: streams closed Apr 1 to June 14, trout and char catch-and-release Nov 1 to Mar 31, single barbless hook required. Confirm the current synopsis before fishing anywhere in the drainage.

Coon Creek carries an official name in the Kootenay Land District, recorded on the federal gazetteer (map sheet 082K14) at 50.783333, -117.454722. It runs stream order 2, near the bottom of the network on a scale that runs from 1 for a headwater trickle up to 6 or more for a full river, and stretches roughly 1 km before it joins ferguson creek, which in turn feeds lardeau creek toward trout lake and the wider Duncan/Lardeau system. Zero fish records appear against it in provincial inventory data, about what you would expect from a short, non-fish-bearing headwater feeder.

With no confirmed sportfish, no guide coverage and no fishing reports, there is nothing here to recommend as a destination. The nearby fish-bearing water in this branch is ferguson creek itself, a bull trout child water that calls for its own caution around spawning timing and access. Think of Coon Creek as habitat and map context within that branch rather than a place to plan a day around.

No dedicated access point, trailhead or road is confirmed for Coon Creek. It sits within the same general area as the Ferguson Creek and Lardeau Creek drainage north of Trout Lake, in mapped Goat Range Park wilderness country, so treat any approach as backcountry travel rather than roadside fishing.
