The Creek, October 6, 2009







Haven't visited this little piece of heaven for some time, so I just had to stop on the way back from picking Sarah up in Wenatchee. Grandpa is always looking for a chance to spend time with his kids and grandkids, so he came along. It took a little bit for Sarah to get reacquainted with the art of fly-fishing, but once she did the fish were no longer safe.

The creek is badly in need of 1) a grader on the steep part of the road on the first switchback, and 2) a major flood to flush things out. The road will soon be difficult passage for low clearance vehicles. And the creek is not only overgrown with trees, but grass is filling in all the way across the creek so in many places the stream is flowing through a mat of grass. But anywhere you could drop a fly in, there was a fish or two. I love this place, even in its overgrown state.
