Isn’t that the truth. I love their blend-in-ability too: they just vanish into their surroundings even when in “plain sight.”

Places you would never think to look in a million years. MDW I’m always amazed in what small places animals (fish, birds, rabbits, etc.) can hide out.

Yes, feeling much better, thanks. We've received a lot of rain too, very unusual for us (we average around 1.5" of precip per month in the spring, but we've had 2.6 in the last 30 days). Enjoy those smallmouth days! Hi Harry! Yes, feeling much better, thanks.

Glad to hear you are feeling better and getting out on the water some. Sure makes me wish I was making a trip out west this year. The smallmouth fishing around here has been sporadic what with all the rain we have had. Two big storms yesterday came through and the river near work is going to be blown out for 2-3 days, though the smaller creeks will clear up sooner. Creeking is fun no matter what species you are after. Keep the stories coming. Hey Scott! Glad to hear you are feeling better and getting out on the water some.

I think some of it might be the "bigger-is-better" mentality: I want big fish and big fish live in big water. But that's OK by me, they can all congregate shoulder-to-shoulder on the name-brand rivers while I dabble in solitude on the no-namers. WFF,

I might be wrong but I think most anglers just pass these places by without a second thought, they can be excellent.

There are a couple of restoration project being talked about for some of them.

There are several within a stone's throw of Butte, but I'll wait for the water to come down a bit and put a little Royal Wulff over them. We (TU) have been working with Montana FWP to eradicate brookies and restore habitat for cutts in this and other streams. You're lucky to have a creek like this where brookies have not been introduced. Take care of that treasure! I love those little creeks, where an 8 or 10″ cutt is a trophy.
