occasional high flows and heavy sand loads.
There is still some natural reproduction of
brown trout. Bobcat WMA and Plum Creek
Valley WMA both provide public access for
anglers to more that a mile of the stream.
Visitors must hike in and out of a canyon to
reach the creek.
Pine Creek
The creek's trout-supporting water is east
of Nebraska Highway 250, 15 miles south
of Rushville in Sheridan County.
Low trout densities.
Private access, permission required. It
has about 16 miles of trout-supporting
water. It has no natural trout reproduction,
but overall trout habitat is considered fair
to good. Because an endangered minnow
species is present in the creek, trout
stockings are currently not permitted.
Deer Creek
This creek is 10 miles south and
6 miles east of Rushville in Sheridan
County.
Rainbow and brown trout.
It is all private access, and requires
permission to enter. It contains about
5 miles of trout-supporting water. A
landowner is stocking the creek with brown
and rainbow trout.
