在石溪(Rock Cr.)中游，我們由路邊走下釣人踏出的步徑，這裡離主流還有些距離，而在這當中，森林裡有條小溪，像極了曾去過的英國號手溪，於是我向威廉示意，先在這裡晃晃，不過一個多小時的搜尋，除了美麗的風景，就只有一尾小的不能再小的虹鱒。In the middle of Rock Creek, we walked down to the trail which stepped by anglers.
There was still certain distance to reach main stream from the trail. We found a small stream in the forest, it was like Horner Water in England where I have ever been. So I told William that I would like to take a try. After an hour searching, I gamed nothing but with the joy of beautiful scenery and caught a rainbow trout which could not be even much smaller.

就在往下游走去的同時，遠遠地看到威廉的竿子呈現滿弓，
不過不一
會兒就看著魚兒衝向下游鑽入流心，又是個飲恨！但沒多久，換吐司的竿子傳來魚訊，而且從釣竿的彎度，應該於不小呢，可一掃昨天的怨氣。纏鬥一會後，魚兒漸露疲態，威廉一個漂亮的下網，幫忙將魚撈起。「哇！是白魚、是白魚耶！」威廉大聲地嚷著，沒見過白魚的我們開心莫名，畢竟這是溫帶靠寒帶或溫帶山區才有的魚種。但就在這條白魚之後，吐司像是找到白魚的家，連著一接一尾地拉，而接連遭遇魚隻脫逃的威廉，也只得放棄原本的釣點，試試這新朋友，結果才一下子，就見他的黏土浮標下沉，又是一尾！
While I was moving to downstream, I saw William’s rod bent as crescent. But it was not too long then the trout dived into the current. Regret for losing fish again. Then Hank’s rod had response. From the curve of rod, the fish seem to be good size. After a couple of minutes of fighting, the fish finally turned to weak. William netted the fish with pretty movement. “Wow! White fish, it is white fish!” William shouted out. White fish is the fish which separates only in north country, and we felt extremely exciting about it because we had never seen this kind of fish before.
After landing up this white fish, Hank seemed to find their home and caught one after one. William gave up the original point he fished and came to try white fish, the new friend we just encountered. It cost a few minutes, William’s floatant sank into the water, one more white fish!

照鱒魚的習性來說，應該很容易受到驚嚇，但這裡的白魚卻傻的有點讓人訝異，同個釣點竟然能一尾接一尾地拉起，加上中魚後牠雖然體積不小，卻不會藉著水流向下逃竄或躍起洗鰓，增加起魚的困難度，甚至還會逆流上溯，便於釣人收線，所以拼鬥力大不如虹鱒與棕鱒，也才不被當作主要對象魚，不過牠至少讓遠方來的我們一賭尊容。可惜的是下午還有路程要趕，於是只得告別石溪，向柏士門(Bozeman)挺進，而柏士門則更是蒙大拿州西式毛鉤的重鎮。
According to the habitual behavior of trout, they should be nervous and easily scared. But the white fish here was too silly to believe that we could catch several in the same point. Although white fish was big, they did not swim down to the current nor leaped out of water. It even swam toward to upstream made it was easy for the angler to roll back the line. White fish is not as powerful as rainbow and brown trout, and such is the reason that anglers do not take it as the major game fish. But the show up of white fish let us see its’ appearance at least. We had a long journey to go in the afternoon. Therefore, we had to say goodbye to Rock Cr. and drove to Bozeman. And Bozeman, is the important fly fishing location in Montana.
