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.Landscape & scenery photos from Mystery Creek # 89
Of all the pools I've fished, this one was most deserving of the colorful little brook trout it held.
I kneel on a rock trying to catch brookies in a waterfall pool.
This little pool shelters some eager small-stream brook trout. You can see this pool
from underwater, too.

Here's another view of the pool under the waterfall shown in
this picture. This time one of the pool's many brook trout is visible, but well-camouflaged. Can you find it?

The rock wall across the picture is at least 15 feet away -- this is extremely clear water in a tiny Catskill stream. This plunge pool to a large waterfall holds many brook trout in the 8-9 inch range but they hide too well to spot in this photo.

This little pool shelters some eager small-stream brook trout, though I caught or frightened them before I took the picture. You can see this pool from
above the water, too.
