From the first of September the trout season is closed here. So we are serching for new waters, looking for small streams with chubs and daces. We found this charming stream yesterday. Unfortunately, it turned out to be completely empty. It used to be that brown trout swam in it.

Fish or no, that's some beautiful scenery. I like that photo of rod & reel on fungus.

Yep, nice reminder as to why small streams are just so beautiful - just nature at a peak...
Beautiful...

Great pics...beautiful water...sorry there was nothing to catch

Seasonal refuge according to water temp and flow? Occasional runs for spawning according to flow? If an intermittent stream, it would have intermittent fish populations as a nursery area, spawning attempts, or refuge from warmer water in the waters it feeds. Hard to tell from the pics, but a brook that size, unless substantially spring fed, is going to be erratic about holding fish--barring some other unusual trait of the watershed. So the absence of trout in any numbers may be completely routine, and even any changes may be routine. Is it the outflow of an impoundement, natural or artificial, as it appears it could be in the third picture from the bottom? Or is much of the section shown the long abandoned silted in area of an old impoundment, with the original channel re-forming? Great explore. I would be curious for sure after wandering through there. We can always get histories from our fish and wildlife or environmental agencies.

Pretty there. Too bad no fishies.

Yeap I'm from Warsaw. Definitely there is not enough water in the stream for brown trouts. I found old movie (from 90's I guess) on Youtbe from this river, there were much more water. But I fish daces and small chubes in simmilar brooks.

thanks for the photos - my kind of water, except our is limestone instead of tannin.
