The local streams are in nice shape after a wet winter, and after a series of mishaps regarding the state posting regulations differently in different mediums and a tank of gas, I ended up at one of my local year round trout streams. It looks a little something like this from the road:
This is typically where I enter, and work up and back down. Today, however, I didn't feel like fishing dries, so I walked a couple of miles up the adjacent gated logging road until I found a suitable trail down to the river. I worked my way down without success until finding this pool:
