Fished Yellow Creek today for a change. Lots of dead fish. Not sure why but looks like they are from the trout club upstream. Rather slow but avoided getting skunked.

Second trout on the streamer in the same section of the river. Would've been my PB trout on the Truckee but I could not get any true measurements and could not fully confirm if cutthroat or cutbow. So pumped and grateful!

First time fishing this section and sticking to a streamer technique. This is the most action on the river I've ever gotten in one outing.
