I hit Piru Creek - the upper section - on Christmas Day.  It was a pretty slow day fishing-wise, but just about any day on the water is refreshing.

I tried this product for keeping the bugs off of me, but I think it was too cold for 'em anyway.  I can't say whether it works or not since I didn't see a bug all day.

This is the first time I've caught a fish dapping.  Luckily I was using my 9' rod so I could stand back from the shoreline.

My wife Sandra took this shot.

This little guy jumped on my fly just as the last of the light was going out of the day.

Found a new access road... it was a nice day out.

Looking down on the creek from the trail.

Right down on the water.

Yeah it was cold.  Some small patches of snow and ice.
