Deep within the granite peaks of the White Mountains there lies a stream. The lifeblood that wells up from the depths provides cool mountain water to its native and wild residents. Its a very special place that contains nothing but some of the most magnificent brook trout that possess a color that rivals the sun in its autumn glory.

Such a place deserves to be fished with a rod fitting of its residents. Its time to take the Yomogi out for a walk and sling some bugs.





Are you ready? Lets go!



Say hello to the local gems.







While we're on the subject of gems….





Sit still…observe….listen...discover









What trip of mine wouldn't be complete without some sort of interesting fungus.



The bomber



Delivers







Half in…Half out…like walking in a daydream.



An omen of what lies ahead…

Whoa!, great pics, lovely colors of the Brookies.That's a great day

Spectacular! Really nice photography. Those fish are amazingly beautiful. They're so colorful now that I can't imagine what they look like when they take on spawning colors in the fall.

Excellent Daydream !!

Pecos

Beautiful pictures and fish and water and flys. Is that the Pflueger Progress reel? Thanks for taking us along.

Very pretty !

Thank you!

They all turn a deep velvet red come mid september

Incredible pictures. I have the same Yomogi and love it. Also, the Bomber has become my go to fly in small streams.

That was just awesome, I especially loved your opening sentence. Thank you.

Stunning scenery and fish. And that Yomogi is just an amazing little rod.

Lovely!

Awesome photos!

Another outstanding report. While I love fishing the Driftless there's just something about those small moutain streams. Thanks for sharing.
