About "Mystery Creeks": I love small streams, but some of my favorite little trout streams are too small and too fragile to publicize here. If you recognize one of these, you already understand why I'm keeping it a secret. These are the kinds of places that lose a little bit of their charm if you see someone else's week-old footprint, and I don't want to do that to them.Underwater photos from Mystery Creek # 19

This picture has a lot of common shiners in the mix with the school of small brook trout.
Here's the stream bottom of a newly renovated artificial channel created by the Wisconsin DNR to restore the natural flow of a small stream that had previously been diverted through a series of shallow, water-warming old private hatchery ponds.
Even in the winter there's some green weed growth at the bottom of a healthy trout stream.
Here the trout are faded in the distance after rushing past me.
