Here are some pictures from a beautiful mountain river that I discovered for the first time this summer. I was blown away by the pristine water, some of the pools were 10+ feet and were crystal clear to the rocks. All the fish I managed to find were small and native. Fun and feisty. The hike in was an added bonus. Of all the many hikers I passed, I was the only one fishing. Hard not to get lost in the beauty when each step streamside seems like a new discovery.
Crystal clear green water was the name of the game. Stealth was so important.
Here are some local trailside fauna.
A little bit of Paradise.
