Beavers were a significant impediment to the fishing in many pools on Slough Creek, maybe at least 20 % of the pools I fished. They would come out at the worst times, swim around scaring the fish, and then slap their tails. Meanwhile, I was fishing an 18-foot leader/tippet and trying my best to drop my flies on the water without the slightest splash.
