About "Mystery Creeks": I love small streams, but some of my favorite little trout streams are too small and too fragile to publicize here.

These are the kinds of places that lose a little bit of their charm if you see someone else's week-old footprint, and I don't want to do that to them.Underwater photos from Mystery Creek # 19
