East Hat Creek begins about 6 miles east
of Harrison in Sioux County.
Brown and brook trout.
There is no public access. Permission
is required to enter private land. East
Hat Creek has about 5.5 miles of troutsupporting water. Because of limited stream
flows and occasional flooding, the creek
provides only fair trout fishing. Currently,
brown trout is the most common species,
but an effort to establish a brook trout
population is underway.
