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
A 4 inch brookie hides from the camera behind a rock under a cut bank.
There's one small brook trout running with this school of minnows at the head of a crystal clear spring.
Hundreds of creek chubs and common shiners approach.
There's a large school of minnows in the far distance here in the clear water of a spring head.
Hundreds of creek chubs and common shiners take the long path around me through the barren shallows of a silty backwater area. It looks sort of like a Mars landscape, doesn't it?
