Stinky Creek will be managed in conjunction with the West Fork Black River and associated tributaries. Following an anticipated complete chemical renovation of this entire system, self-sustaining populations of native fish will be re-established. It is currently closed to fishing though the objective is to open Stinky Creek and the West Fork system as a wild self-sustaining coldwater sportfishery for Apache trout. Maintaining exclosure fencing is important to maintain suitable riparian and aquatic habitat conditions.
