Thank ye kindly Dave! That's one of my favorite creeks here in the Ozarks. There are 5-6 springs that dump into it in less than a mile, two of which are significant in their flows.

The rod is a delight, thank you for noticing. A Pocket Water rods 7'6", 4 wt. rigged with a Terenzio #4, DT silk line and leader. The fish was a lot prettier. There's quite a bit of glare off it and the colors didn't come out all that well. Good thing the kid took the picture. If I'd taken it the trout probably wouldn't be recognizable as a fish!!
