Creeks on the comeback

[brifishrgy]

Fished a small creek this morning with my son .. not expecting more then a few creek chubs and shinners i left my camera at home .. I was quite surprised to catch a nice little brook trout (or maybe a small brown.. not too sure on my trout species) .. around 7-8" .. wish I had my camera with me .. the colors were beauty .. I hope to catch more of them in the future .. gonna have to remember the camera next time .. but then again if I bring the camera I probably wouldn't have caught it

I used to be able to catch small specks in the local streams in Aurora as a kid- doubt there are any left now. We would get dropped off at the outskirts of town- me with my CTC cane fly pole with 8' of line tied to it and a can of worms and walk the creeks back home. Simpler, better times.
