Book Description
Duck Creek originates from the southeast flanks of The Crags Mountains in Yellowstone National Park. Three-creeks: Gneiss Creek, Richards Creek and Campanula Creek form Duck Creek. Duck Creek is one of the major spawning tributaries of Hebgen Lake for Rainbow Trout, Mountain White Fish and Brown Trout. In the early 1990’s a fish trap was placed in Duck Creek and a Montana State record Brown Trout was trapped; it weighed over 30-pounds. Today’s Montana State record Brown Trout, taken from Wade Lake weighed 29.0-pounds, which was caught in 1966 by E. H. Bacon. The Duck Creek drainage has abundant wildlife: Grizzly Bears, Black Bears, Wolves, Moose, Elk, and Bison. Duck Creek east of Highway # 191 meanders through a wide-open valley, while west of Highway 191 Duck Creek is thickly lined in willows.
