Cattle everywhere…..
banks trampled down…
electric fence across the water.
First cast after the photo I caught a 21 inch brown from under the root wad caught on the fence.
and a really nice brookie just 20 yards up further.
Sometimes the old adage of “Trout Don’t Live In Ugly Places” is wrong.
The only reason I fished this at all is that there was a huge spring emptying in 100 yards upstream.
