A New Stream
With stream flows getting skinny in this drainage, Neal and I decided we better fish on the top of the mountain while there is still water flowing. Yeah, we're not betting on monsoons keeping the flows fishable, and we were not taking a chance on missing an opportunity to float a fly on this stream. Unfortunately, the stream we went to visit was running skinny, just as we feared. Yeah, we decided to drive over to another area, and explore. We rolled over some narrow forestry roads and floated a fly on two different creeks. The second creek we fished was a surprise discovery after exploring a single lane rocky road up to over 8500 feet. Yup, first time we've been to this area, and we find a meandering creek flowing swiftly down the mountain side. One of the tightest brush-filled creeks I've fished. No trout were caught in this creek, but we gave it a lot of time to explore the conditions. Lots of trout, spooky as can be, with some surprisingly, large, healthy trout for a tin...
