Big
Spring Creek:
Big Spring Creek surfaces less than two miles from
the subject property. It is considered one of the
nations largest natural springs (almost 50,000 gallons
per minute of crystal clear water emerges from the
earths surface). It is the source of Lewistown's water
supply and is a highly productive trout stream. The
water surfaces at 52 degrees F. enclosing the large
spring at the head of the creek, giant willows and
cottonwoods shade a park and wildlife viewing area.
From the spring, cold, high-quality water flows over
green mats of water plants and down between birches,
willow, hawthorne, native shrubs and grasses. Above
Lewistown, Big Spring Creek aver-ages 38 feet wide,
18 inches deep, and below to the mouth, 45 feet wide,
24 inches deep. Big Spring Creek attracts large numbers
of wildlife, including waterfowl and fur-bearers.
Big Spring Creek is a catch and release fishing stream
and is open all year round. Fishing is by wading and
walking …. not a float and fishing type of stream.
Big Spring Creek is predominantly a wild Rainbow stream
but it also has a good number of German brown trout
too. Average Browns and Rainbows are 12 to 18 inches
in length. Fly-fishing enthusiasts travel to Lewistown
from across the nation to fish in Big Spring Creek,
and its reputation for big, abundant Brown and Rainbow
trout.
