DePuy's Spring Creek has been fishing well, although it's been a little technical lately. Midges have been the most consistent hatch, with some good blue-winged olive activity on calmer days. Anglers have been finding the better dry fly opportunities from late morning through early afternoon, particularly when the wind stays down.
Small flies and light tippet are important on DePuy's. For dry flies, Griffith's gnats, midge clusters, and small BWO emergers in sizes 18–24 are worth carrying. When fish aren't rising, smaller zebra midges, pheasant tails, and sowbugs are good nymph options. Small leech patterns have also been producing some larger fish.
