For an angler judging whether the fishing is worth the drive, the stocking record is the fishing report. Perry Creek is a put-and-take angling fishery, stocked with catchable game fish: 11 recorded releases totalling 118,800 fish (Westslope (Yellowstone) Cutthroat Trout, Cutthroat Trout, Brook Trout), last stocked 1953-01-01.

Stocking appears to have wound down after 1953. Confirm whether it is still topped up or now fishes as a residual, wild population. The chart below shows the full release history.

As a small stream, a tributary of St. Mary River, Perry 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 Perry 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.
