After all the fires I was a little worried about traveling to this river, but with Bear Creek shut down due to the low flows and jonesing for some good trout fishing I made the trip. When we got into the canyon all you could see was burnt trees all around. We stopped at the first pull off area to check the color of the water and see what the area looked like. To my surprise the water was clear even though the banks were littered with burnt wood and ash that had flown down with all the extra water. I decided to drop a line and see what I could find. To my surprise on my first cast I saw the flash of a trout that just missed my lure. Nothing is better the tracing your lure back and seeing that flash. Three casts later I hooked into a nice sized Brown. He quickly headed for fast water and managed to throw my lure. Not giving up that easily I kept up the casts. Not to long to wait until I managed to land my first fish. I managed to land a few after that. I wanted to see what the rest of the river was like so we traveled up further. As we got up stream a couple miles the fishing slowed not sure if it was time of day or the fact that there was a lot more debris in the water, but we did not find a better spot then that first one.
