Finally made it back out on
what used to be my home waters after 5 long years. My how
things have changed, holes have disappeared, and new ones have
formed. Not a single bite. Water was very high and
stained. The most disappointing thing about the trip was the
damage I am seeing become more and more prevalent to the creek.
See the picture below.
A landowner decided to clear
most of his property near the creek. The banks have
de-stabilized and collapsed resulting in huge amount of silt being
washed into the creek. The silt fence shown here is a joke.
I am concerned about the long term prospects of this creek
sustaining a trout population.

Photographer for the Oakland Press caught me drowning some flies.
September, 1989
This trout was caught in Paint Creek in late September of 1989. Some do get even
bigger.
