Here is a typical small stream in the GSMNP. Also showing the thickness of all the rhododendron, fallen trees, etc. The rainbow is a wild 13 incher caught high sticking. This was taken last week 5/9/20.

Nice browns from a stream near my home. Both fish were taken on size 18 Sawyer Pheasant Tail nymphs fished 18" below a Parachute Adams for an indicator.

I hiked into a creek that I had been eyeing up for a long time. There are no records (that I can find) that would indicate that a population of brook trout was present in this tiny creek. I found a map from the early 1900's that actually labeled this creek as "spring creek", which it is no longer named. When I arrived at the creek I was immediately excited to see that there were in fact many springs coming from the hillside feeding into this creek. It is a very short running creek that runs into a swamp, and it obviously wouldn't be able to support much fishing pressure, so I am reluctant to tell even my best fishing buddies where I found this spot. After catching a handful of little gems from this location I moved on to another spring creek that I was familiar with, which had browns and brookies, and had a blast there catching some nicer browns on my glass 3 wt.

Took a lady on the water today,because of the high wind I thought it would be better to fish a small stream,I was right.She had great fun and really enjoyed fishing this small stream.

No you don't, you look like some old guy with those big fit over sunglasses that old guys seem to like.

Didn't want to stress out the trout with water temps 70+ so I went to another local creek. A Finger Lakes tributary. Did a little bit of wet wading.

Colorado high country is wide open up to 10,000 ft so been poking around on a number of different creeks up there the last few weeks.
