I explore a creek in Central Idaho looking for cutthroat. I'd never fished this creek before and I quite enjoyed it. It is lovely water and although I did find some cutthroat, most of the fish I took were brook trout. A few of the brook trout were real beauties.
This Idaho stream has some nice fish in it. In this outing, I fish further upstream than I had before and caught some large browns. They were a challenge, given the small size of the creek.
This creek is very challenging. I found it a couple of decades ago and I fished it rather frequently for many years. But now that I'm older and less stable on my feet, I haven't fished it in years. I decided to go back and give it a go. The water was a little high due to run-off but the fish were willing and I didn't fall!
I love fishing this creek, but it's on private land. I only fish the creek in late spring. Over the past few years I've had no issues with gaining access, but this spring new No Hunting/Trespassing signs have been placed. I don't know what happened between last spring and this, but something did. Maybe some hunters in the fall angered the land owner, or maybe there's a new land owner. I'll have to track down the owner and ask for permission to access the creek next spring. I hope they'll let me or this year will be the last time I fish the beautiful creek.
