Green Spring Creek Special-Regulation Area - December 22,  2007

Hatch Info
Midges hatch year around; trout feed on the adult and larval stages. 

Cress (sow) bugs and shrimp (scuds) are present in large numbers throughout the stream. 

Sculpins are common, and crayfish live where rocks are exposed on the stream bottom.
