No standalone Hall Lake Creek entry appears in the regulations synopsis or the current in-season page. Treat it as a St. Mary River tributary: trout and char daily quota of one, none under 30 cm, open Jun 15 to Oct 31 unless separately listed, bait ban, and a Class II licence required when and where open, tributaries included except Joseph Creek. Confirm the current synopsis before fishing.

NRCan's Geographical Names database lists Hall Lake Creek as an official Kootenay Land District name (key JBLSV) at 49.668333, -116.453889, on map sheet 082F09. It drains into redding creek, which in turn joins the st mary river, putting it two steps up from the St. Mary mainstem in the drainage. No channel-geometry survey (width, gradient, discharge) has been recorded for this creek, so its practical scale, whether it is a wadeable trickle or something more, is unknown rather than assumed.

The signal here is thin. A survey of the local beat network found only two direct fish records for Hall Lake Creek, both westslope cutthroat trout, against 126 for redding creek itself and double-digit counts for the sibling tributaries baribeau creek, baker creek and parkers creek. Two records confirm presence, not a fishable population, legal access, or resilience to angling pressure. No creek-specific guide report or fishing log has surfaced; the nearest verified guide coverage covers the st mary river mainstem, which is regional context, not proof this creek should be fished.

Where the Redding drainage has been sampled for food base, the working pattern is stonefly nymphs and adults, caddisflies, mayflies, terrestrials, fry and sculpin, with the regional hatch spine running Golden stoneflies near the opener, Green Drakes and Pale Morning Duns through summer, into fall Blue-Winged Olives and October caddis. No hatch sample exists for Hall Lake Creek specifically, but if a legal, fishable reach is confirmed, the working Redding-branch box carries over: Stimulator, Chubby Chernobyl and Royal Wulff as attractors, Adams and Elk Hair Caddis for the hatch, Pat's Rubber Legs, Hare's Ear, Pheasant Tail, Prince and Copper John underneath, with a sparse Woolly Bugger or Muddler Minnow only where legal and bull-trout-aware.

Because redding creek is a documented bull trout spawning tributary with active habitat restoration, the same conservative read carries down to its own small tributaries. If you cross Hall Lake Creek while scouting the drainage, treat it as a look-and-move-on water: photograph habitat, note barriers or temperature, and fish it only where legal access and a fishable reach are confirmed.

No named road, trailhead or put-in has been confirmed for Hall Lake Creek specifically. The wider Redding drainage is reached via Redding Creek Road off St. Mary Lake Road, a high-clearance route toward Grey Creek Pass generally passable July through October, but that is travel context for the area, not confirmation of legal fishing access on this creek.
