Confirm the current BC freshwater fishing regulations (Region 4 – Kootenay) before you fish; this water is part of the Duncan River system.

It flows into duncan river within the Duncan Lake watershed (Duncan Lake → Kootenay River). It runs stream order 5 (well down the network, toward river scale; the scale runs from 1 for a headwater trickle to 6+ for a river) and roughly 22 km. brook trout, bull trout, kokanee, rainbow trout, Westslope (Yellowstone) Cutthroat Trout, recorded here in provincial fish-inventory data (189 records). The fish-passage model expects mountain whitefish here too, since the reach is reachable with no barrier between, though there is no direct record yet. Named tributaries: john creek, mat creek.

For an angler judging whether the fishing is worth the drive, the stocking record is the fishing report. Meadow Creek is a put-and-take angling fishery, stocked with catchable game fish: 105 recorded releases totalling 33,026,930 fish (Kokanee, Rainbow Trout), last stocked 2024-10-21.

It is still stocked (most recent release 2024-10-21), so it fishes as a put-grow water: this season's fish come from the latest cohorts, topped up to keep it going. The chart below shows the release history by year and species.

As a small stream, a tributary of Duncan River, Meadow Creek fishes the way creeks of its size do: short drifts with a buoyant attractor dry over a light dropper, working the pocket water and the heads of pools. The stocking record below is the truest read on what you will catch.

Access for Meadow Creek, meaning the roads in, put-ins and any walk-in or seasonal limits, is worth confirming locally before you commit a day. The drainage map shows how the water sits in its valley.
