I spent a couple of hours exploring Valley Creek last week with a small 7′  0″  4 wt rod.  Valley Creek holds a lot of smaller brook trout, cutthroats, stocked rainbows, whitefish, and salmon smolts.  The brookies were happy to take a #14 Royal Wulff.  Whitefish and rainbows went crazy for small nymphs, and I picked up several on #16 pheasant tail nymphs.  Here are a few photos from my afternoon.
