I love this thread. Small streams capture my imagination more than any other water, even though I don't fish them as much as I used to. Here are three shots of a small stream here in WA that shall remain nameless. I'm looking forward to getting back there this summer.

Can I use this photo as my background on my phone? That's quite amazing!
Ha. sure. The area is my true happy place. If I could only do on fishing trip each year anywhere in the world, this area would be it.

It looks fantastic.
Streams like this demand skill, stealth and determination. Not fertile ground for the "What's the limit?" clan. Every fish is a reward well earned.

I think I have caught a few from that hole in your last pic. Thought I was the only one tempting fish there. Ha Ha
May have met one of you there there circa 2017(?), in my pre-Tenkara days.

Hi all. Small streams and wild trout are my passion! I'm always leery to post photos though as I feel that someone will recognize the location, so I rarely do. I really appreciate the solitude and lack of pressure for the fish on some of these streams and rivers. I kindly ask in advance that if you do recognize them, please refrain from naming them. I know that they aren't all secret but they truly mean a great deal to me. So having said that, I guess that I'll start posting some, starting here.

Kind of fun going through some old photos. Never fished this one but plan on changing that this year.
What a beautiful stream.
Amazing. I have never had the opportunity to fish a meadow stream, like this. It's on my bucket list. I've pretty much only ever fished freestones, with a few freestone-ish tail waters thrown in.

I absolutely love meadows, probably my favorite water. There are some pretty well known meadows in SW Montana and in the Park. This particular one I just happen to stumble on which is always cool.
Heading back over there later this spring.
I don't know if I'm just not looking hard enough, but in NW Oregon, I don't think there's any streams that I could just "just happen to stumble on "
Is that a Montana/Idaho thing, or again, maybe I'm just not looking hard enough. I'm guessing the later (at least at a stream in a valley of that scale).

We are blessed to have thousands and thousands of miles of rivers, streams, creeks etc.
I've fished the lower section of this trib but never explored the upper section until that day. I had no idea that it opened up into one of the prettiest meadows I've ever seen and immediately when I saw it I was blown away.
Is it a secret? Only if you don't know about it.
fair!
I stumbled across a few streams like there here in Montana. You go looking for one place and find another one in the process. It's not hard to do that in Montana. If I can just keep that thought in my head. Maybe I'll see if I can find it again this year.

Haha yep I've lived by it almost my entire life and only recently realized there were fish. I've ran into a few guys fishing but not many.
