Trout Creek was established in 1885 as a mining, logging and later as a railroad community. It is located 20 miles west of Thompson Falls, MT.
Trout Creek is located on the banks of Noxon Rapids Reservoir, a thirty-three mile impoundment of the Clark Fork River stretching from Thompson Falls to Noxon. The reservoir offers some of the best bass and pike fishing in Northwestern Montana. Averaging only a mile wide, the setting stirs the imagination for a mountainous watershed teeming with trout, and they too cruise through this shallow reservoir known for offering good small mouth and largemouth bass fishing, along with pike, walleye, yellow perch and sun fish.
