Winter Park small creek fishing - July 29, 2022

I have fished this creek once before - but apparently didn't go far enough up.  This time I did - jumped up past the previous pool I had been to.  Great idea - as every pool was prettier than the previous - there was just enough water flowing to make the fishing perfect.

Every pool held a big fish - big for a creek this small - the largest was about 11 inches and really fat.  Every bend pool held a fat brookie willing to crush the huge hopper - often they'd miss it the first cast, but it you waiting 30 seconds they'd be ready to hit it again and usually got it or decided to hit the dropper instead.  Once you caught the fish out of the hole it would be blown up and you'd have to move up to the next hole.  Really pretty water - in a spot that I'm sure everyone drives by.

Not a lot of small fish in this creek - but each hole held a big one.  Very pretty water - but be cautious - this is MOOSE country!!

Z's bike is back in "working" condition - which I'm sure is just a temporary state.
