Fish, Birds, and Stoned Trees - non yak

That is awesome man! High desert is just magical. Rattlers still in the dens?

They're not out yet, but a few days of warm weather is all it takes.

Beautiful!  The view, the story, the fish, the pictures, just BEAUTIFUL!!!     Thanks for sharing Pete!!!

Very cool!  thanks for the pics of HD troots

Way to catch the courtin" displays. I've never seen a sage grouse for real. They are cool looking birds. Hard to believe that little creek is holding native trout. Looks like it would dry up in the summer...Nice

What a great day!!!!! Nice fish!!!!

why a link to facebook?  isn't this place(NCKA.ORG) good enough to post vid/pics onto?  Facebook is for talk'ers. NCKA is for do'ers.  I cant DO facebook, so i guess i'll never see these pics.

The creek is fed by several springs along its course.

Excellent report - love the scenery, the stream, the fish, the birds and the stoned trees! 

Adam, quit tweeting & Twittering and get hooked up on Facebook!

Facebook is just a holding place for the video, like youtube, but the quality is better.  I would imagine that HD video is way to big to house on NCKA.  I also thought (wrongly it seems) that anyone can view the video.  When I get home tonight, I'll upload the video to youtube and provide a link.  Thanks Andy, for pointing out the problem.

I modified the original post and inserted the YouTube link to the video.  I also added it below.

Here's a short YouTube video showing some sage grouse on a lek.  Best viewed in YouTube full screen at 720p.

Nice report. Nice photos, and of course nice fish

wow!  please keep posts like this coming, that was an awesome lunch-time escape.  small creek trout chasing is just about my favorite form of fishing.
