About "Mystery Creeks": I love small streams, but some of my favorite little trout streams are too small and too fragile to publicize here. If you recognize one of these, you already understand why I'm keeping it a secret. These are the kinds of places that lose a little bit of their charm if you see someone else's week-old footprint, and I don't want to do that to them.

I always knew the mottled pattern on the backs of char was excellent camouflage, but I never quite appreciated how perfectly they can match the light tones of a riffly river until I took this picture. From Mystery Creek # 170 in Alaska.

I caught the first dolly of the day after several tries while hiding behind this willow. It made splashy refusals at the first couple flies I tried. I peeked through gaps between the leaves to watch my fly drift down and see the fish's take. From Mystery Creek # 170 in Alaska.

This was the biggest dwarf dolly varden of the day, a mature male about 8.5-9" long, quite a bruiser for the creek he was in. He's the prettiest fish I've caught in a while. This fish is also pictured in this picture and this one. From Mystery Creek # 170 in Alaska.

You can see the dwarf dolly I caught in this pool, hanging out after being released, just up/left from the center of the picture. You can't really tell it's a fish here, though. From Mystery Creek # 170 in Alaska.
