Not new member & Currant Creek

[liteweight]

After my last weekend at Currant Creek I decided my old user-name Pleasantmisery just didn't suit me any more. So I'm not going to use it anymore. I wont go into details unless someone asks.

So anyway, Currant Creek was hot for the fishing over the weekend. The usual dwarfed sizes up there but on light tackle they can be fun. There was a sign in the check-in station that a 29" 10.5 lb cutthroat was caught from the shore last month and they are waiting on the pics to put up to show that there are big fish in there.

I was out in my tube by the dam and had bites nearly every other cast. Used a small super duper, brass with red spots, tipped with a crawler during the day and early evening. When the sun started going down switched to a meps spinner with a silver and chartruse blade and still knocked them silly. I seen another tuber using his wand and a green wooly bugger and he also did well.

The road from Co-op Creek is graded and in good shape. Shorter than going on I-40 by 20-30 miles. Went playing around up Low Pass Creek Road (north end of Currant Creek) and it's pretty much a jeep/atv trail now. I didn't want to take my truck up there too far. There are a couple of grave sites up there that I wanted to show my wife and get some pictures. I'll post them on the Off-Topic board.

I would love to see the pictures. I have read up and searched all through those hills. There is a large amount of very interesting history up there.

I posted these on the Off Topic board as well.
As you can see, they seem to be pretty recent crosses and in good shape so I'm hoping someone knows something and can shed a little light on this little mystery of who they were or how they came to be there.

[cool][#0000ff]Good report. Interesting choice of (new) names...and avatar. Gotta be a reason there. We all do our own things for our own reasons.[/#0000ff]

Name kind of comes from my use of rod (ultra-lite), light weight fly rod (4) and that discussion on float tubes for, um, shall we say tubers of large stature. I used to wrestle feather-weight class in high school and I haven't really grown much out of it (5'10, 140lb if I'm lucky) if you know what I mean. So my Bighorn tube almost makes me look small, the fishcat and fatcatss might make me look like a baby in a high chair. We won't go there.

I didn't get to try the creek or the other streams this time. I had by 9 month old daughter with me most of the time and tried to keep her away from the bugs as much a possible. I heard of mediocre success with the woolybuggers but that's just hear-say.
