This is how the small creek I fished looked over the weekend. It was very dangerous. The dry leaves covered the water running just underneath. In some places it hid where there was wet rock. A couple times I stepped on what I thought was solid ground only to have all the leaves move at once. I took some nasty falls and I was lucky to not get hurt. The leaves are beautiful but the experience reminded me they can also be a hazard. Watch your step out there.
That's crazy, have never seen water look like that before with so many leaves.
ReplyDeleteGuess you can't even fish sections like that.
It makes it tough. There were holes in between the leaves. The tough part was managing your drift without touching the leaves. Sometimes it was impossible.
DeleteI suspect that a wading staff would have come in handy poking the ground ahead. Glad you didn't get hurt.
ReplyDeleteI have been debating getting a wading staff for years. I really should carry one. I always feel like I carry too much stuff to begin with and that's just one more thing. It's probably best to be safe than sorry.
DeleteThat first picture is beautiful Kev. I can see myself taking a bath there. Glad you survived.
ReplyDeleteHow did you do?
ReplyDeletethe leaves made it tough. I hooked a few but they were really small.
DeleteVery scenic. Also looks like you guys, here also, need a good rain to clean it out.
ReplyDeleteYeah, they are going through a small drought in the mountains.
DeleteIt's a trap!! I can't believe all of the leaf fall in that picture. That's really something. Great photographs, too. Good to hear you came out unscathed.
