The channel itself reads like the small, technical pocket water typical of these Bull River side-creeks: a median width near 4.3 m (narrow), a median gradient near 4.31 percent (a moderate pitch for a small mountain creek, steeper than a valley-bottom stream but well short of a whitewater canyon), and a peak mean-annual discharge around 0.331 m3/s (very low flow, headwater scale). Expect short drifts, tight casting lanes, and a rod better suited to 7 to 8 feet in a 3 or 4-weight than anything larger.

No survey exists specifically for Green Creek. The read that it holds westslope cutthroat comes from the wider Bull River tributary network, where nearby recorded creeks such as
Barrier Creek carry the species. Until a direct record turns up, fish here on the assumption you might find a small, wild cutthroat population and nothing else.
If fish are present, the same East Kootenay stream calendar that governs the rest of the upper Bull applies:
caddis hatch from mid-June into October,
mayflies including blue-winged olives come off through summer and fall, early-summer stoneflies work the faster riffles, and grasshoppers and other
terrestrials take over in August as flows drop. The small-stream fly box used across the recorded Bull River tributaries fishes here too: a
Royal Wulff or
Stimulator as the searching dry, an
Adams or
Elk Hair Caddis to match the hatch, beetle and ant patterns through late summer, and a
Hare's Ear or
Prince Nymph to probe the deeper pockets.
