Headwaters

[Driftless]

I drove over bogger gut tonight at 6:30pm. The headwaters of a stream I fish.

It is un-named...My dad gave it the bogger gut handle. It is where I caught my first trout.

It was a little cloudy. But it was fishable.

2 hours later and 20 trout later. I was happy.

Most trout were in the 9-13 inch range but this one made the outing worth while.

Where do you think the trout was laying. It hit three times before I got a hook up???

It was obvious to me when I saw the stretch.

Is it obvious to you?

If there's a little current and you are looking upstream, I will say the trout was caught along the rightside bank. The water is a little deeper on the outside bend and the current pushs food right to him. He also has overhead cover and gets the occasional cricket or hopper snack when they fall off the overhanging grass.

One thing I have learned over the last few years: Never underestimate small water. These photos show the stream even a touch high and obviously dirty. I have fished this stream with Len before. Non-designated and chalk full of nice brookies and a few nice browns. Be fishing with Len in two weeks, have to give this one a try again!
