Land of the Leftover Trout

It's hard to say. Seems like there's enough movement there to keep it properly oxygenated, and it has plenty of overhead cover from the sun, but when we get a true summer heatwave I could see it warming up quite a bit. Time will tell!

how close were you to the headwaters?

Not super close. It's not a very long creek but after a quick look on Google Maps I'd estimate I was probably somewhere in the ballpark of 3-5 miles away from the headwaters.

They look like prime holdovers to keep for the grill. Stream flows looking like they were in your picture, I bet it warms above 70 and stays there. Only way to know for sure though is go back in Sept and see if there are still trout there.

(I know a few spots like this that I'll go take a few for table fare in the next couple weeks. )

Agreed, the flows were low. I'm don't eat pretty much any trout, but I'll definitely be back in the fall to see if any survived
