Cebolla creek requires a decent amount of driving to access, but the beauty of this small stream is hard to beat.  The ability to catch wild and eager browns, rainbows, cutthroat and brook trout all in a day is exciting and with all the ample camping nearby and great scenery and wildlife, this place should be on your list for exploring.

Cebolla Creek is an amazing little stream. This creek not only has some good water flowing through it, but endless types of water to fish. There are riffle sections, pocket water, big boulders, cut-banks, and back eddies which all produce trout. This creek also holds four different species of trout, these being browns, rainbows, cut-bows, brook, and possibly cutthroat. This is enough to attract most anglers due to the diversity of species, kind of like a box of chocolates.

The bug life at this creek is popping off, everywhere you look there are bugs emerging, dead drifting in the current, on willows, and flying around. All bug species are here including callibaetis in the ponds that the creek pools into. This means the patterns you can use are endless so experiment with new flies and stuff that is out of the ordinary. These fish aren’t stupid so stealth is necessary especially if you want to land one of the 16-18inch bows or browns. These fish are also very hungry so this creek will make for an exciting day. Use both dries and nymphs and watch the fish activity to see where they are feeding. You will need to match the hatch, but given the season there will be multiple bugs to match. As always watch for private property, private water, and do not trespass or fish without owners permission.
