This area has definitely seen its share of trouble, but luckily this little creek continues to thrive and bounce back. Thanks again for the post.

I definitely understand what you are saying. I fished much of the runoff during the winter which was more or less a waste of time. That was why I was nervous when I first showed up to the creek and saw everything brown. Turns out it was a different situation all together. I’ll try and find that clodhopper and see if I can give it a try. Thanks again for your thoughts.

As long as the waters are not totally blown, the staining provides you with some cover.

Also, after a rise in flow sometimes food will get washed in a bigger fish will take, as you know. A couple of my biggest browns have come this way.

Plus the cloud cover of the monsoon can make for some better lighting for pics.

Just gotta watch out for that lightning!

Like those mini-hoppers. I have been tying something similar myself lately – a clodhopper – found it on Youtube. The small sizes work great.

Keep up the good work!

Thank you both for the kind words.

WFF, Those mini hoppers were dynamite the other day. Super easy and fun to tie. Let me know if you tie some and how they work.

I love seeing streams from a different part of the country. Nice looking brown and sometimes I love fishing my small mountain streams after rain for just these reasons cloudy water, overcast, and extra cover to sneak up on big guys. Thanks for the post…..

Got home and skimmed through photos, looking good! I’m addicted to fishing photos, looing forward to some information as well. Like the Mini Hoppers, thinking about those right now…
