quirk creek

[fishstix]

Hi everyone. My four year old got a 2 wt. Fly rod for Christmas this year. I'm looking to take her to somewhere this season for some small and plentiful fish. Im not looking for a stocked pond but rather a small stream or creek. One place that sounds good is quirk creek near bragg creek. My problem is that I can't find it on Google maps. Can anyone help me out with some directions. Pm me so the location can remain a secret.

SW of Bragg Creek, Highway 66 to above Elbow Falls, park in Cobble Flats parking area, wade across the Elbow River and turn left. The first tributary stream is Quirk Creek. Walk in about 2-3 km and start fishin'

Taco you got it. I knew where it was and could find it on a map, but couldn't remember Cobble Flats day use area.

I was there last year in the late July. Water were fast in Elbow and I would not recommend to Bring a 4 year old t wade and cross. It was a quite a bit of hike as well. Fishes are in 6" of range, nothing was in good size at least for my trip. I would say bring her to somewhere like JP or 3 Point for easy access and easy dry fishing. Fishes are not big but there's chance for a surprising 15" cuts or bows. I've caught a 15" Brook Trout in JP last year. Upper JP is just about 30 mins from home since I live in NW Calgary. 3 point would be a 50 mins ride.
Both creek are kids friendly, small stream, plenty of fish, and easy catch for kids.

Cataract Creek would be another great option. Lots of willing brooks and they sit in all the holding water you would expect trout to sit.
