Perry Lode Creek carries an official name in the Kootenay Land District, recorded by NRCan Geographical Names (key JAMLZ, map sheet 082K11) at 50.719722, -117.290833. It sits in the upper
Gainer Creek drainage, which in turn feeds
Lardeau Creek toward Trout Lake. It runs stream order 3 (low on the network, on a scale that runs from 1 for a headwater trickle up to 6 or more for a full river) and stretches roughly 1 km. bcfishpass channel-geometry data puts the median width at ~1.8 m (narrow) and the median gradient at ~45.41% (very steep), with peak mean-annual discharge of only ~0.066 m³/s (very low flow), a small, cascading headwater creek rather than anything an angler would wade with intent. It carries zero direct fish observations in the provincial index, consistent with its no-sportfish designation.
