Local fish-inventory records show six direct observations on Maude Creek: two
redside shiner, two northern pikeminnow and two slimy
sculpin, all forage species rather than sportfish. That forage base matters to the reservoir's food web, but it is not a trout or char abundance claim, and no direct trout record has been found for the creek itself. No public fishing report, hatch account or creek-specific guide coverage has surfaced.

Duncan Lake trips at the lake and charter level, but nothing specific to this creek.
Forage water, not a sportfish claim
Maude's confirmed record set, redside shiner, northern pikeminnow and slimy sculpin, is a food-web signal for Duncan Reservoir predators, not evidence of a sportfish population in the creek itself. BC Hydro's Duncan Reservoir burbot-monitoring program (DDMMON-11) maps Maude within that reservoir burbot food-web picture, and the Okanagan Nation Alliance and BC Hydro run ongoing monitoring across the upper Duncan system because Duncan Dam and reservoir operations shape fish habitat, food and life-history success there.
