Just minutes from Mike and Amy Dover's house is a brushy little stream full of easily spooked browns. A couple hours of fishing was a good prelude to Heather's wedding in St. George later in the day. I fished a couple hours and had about eight to hand using a renegade, psycho prince, and humpy. This stream could be better later in the day, as in the early morning the browns seem to hold in very shallow water at the sides and bottom of the holes, where it is difficult to reach them and easy to spook them. This is not easy fishing, and you walk by a lot of water because it is unreachable due to the brush. That being said, it is satisfying to dangle a dry in a little pocket behind a rock and to see a small brown come up and slurp the fly! I fished at the first pullout after the campground just inside the national forest upstream from the left fork. It is apparent this stream gets a good bit of pressure here.
