It took me a couple years to figure out access, then another to refine my approach - I now know how to get to, and take advantage of the finest spring-fed native trout fishery in the lower 48. Artificial, barbless, catch-and-release. The fish in this picture was as big as my forearm.

Starting to Feel Like Spring?
Cruising the Rat Farm after dealing with stunningly stupid DMV experience. I would put them up against the worst bureaucracies in the world - India, Russia .... no contest. If I worked there I would shoot myself.

Widow Valley Creek
Explored Widow Valley creek. Not far from home but isolated so I had never been here before. Not sure if there are any fish, but will attempt at some point. Usual detritus from grazing cattle - not sure how clean the water is as a result. Regardless, at least a good picnic/nap spot.
