The Hidden Gems

in Small Waters

You know it’s a good day when you can catch two of your favorite fish species in the same outing.  It’s a really good day when you’re fishing with your good friend and you both catch fish at the same time.

Shane and I pulled these fish out of Hyalite Creek.  It may be super busy all summer long, but there are still some places most people don’t know about and don’t get fished too hard.

As the summer has progressed, a running conversation has taken place between myself and some of my fishing buddies about the ability to get away from the crowds.  Sure, in another two months, most of the horde will be gone.  But that’s two months away.

If you are willing to put in a little time and effort with a good map (or Google Earth for that matter) you can find the places that no one else goes to.  It doesn’t matter where you live, there is some water that just doesn’t get fished.  Even on the big, famous waters there are still the places where most people don’t go.  Take the time to find it.

You’ll be glad you did.
