Exploring High Country Creeks

My family was in town for the Fourth of July (2014), so my dad, my brother, and I set off to explore some new water in the high country above Lake City.  We caught tons of little brook trout and brown trout.

Searching for New Water

There is a lot of great water to fish around Lake City, and when the fishing is good, you can hit the same spots day after day and still get into good fishing.  But on this day, my friend Mitchell and I went exploring for some new, hard-to-access water that, if we could find it, would be even better than what we normally fish.

Found the water, and some nice fish!
