limestone streams and love of trout

[salvelinusfontinalis]

I have been exploring limestone spring creeks now the past few weeks and i cant tell you how much i love these streams. the stream i visited today was very high gradient for a limestone spring creek. it had alot of rapids. but thats ok the rainbows loved them the scud/cress bug tandem slaughtered them today. i saw a deer run through the stream also. unfortunatly i didnt have my camera ready and also he ran the way i was fishing still a sight to see
....i dont want to name this stream so if you recognize it please keep the name out of your posts. just wanted to share some of the beautiful pics of the water and the trout i caught today. enjoy!

ty matt i did have a blast! someday ill return to that stream. i had to open the old thread to see where you gave out access and directions. again ty! i would have never thought or found where to properly park without that.

i find it funny though. the habitat was so nice up by the headwaters through the woods...but not many fish. down through the less desireable water.....TONS of fish. odd

you are right it was tough fishing as u predicted...but i still gottem :-D that one bow was maybe 14- 15 inches and gave me one heck of a fight.

thanks again for all your help and advice.......i had a very enjoyable day! :-D

Give her a try next spring. A little more water goes along way. They get tucked up under those weeds when the waters low and it can be tough to get em to come out.
