Getting down to Indian Creek and looking for good spots to fish for trout has been on my list of things to do this winter. I fear I may have missed my window as spring rains and snow melt are already flushing the entire valley.
The service roads used to access this area are closed to motor vehicles for the season but foot and bike travel are welcome. I took the bike down and had a lot of fun cruising the gravel roads and bridges. I had the entire valley to myself. Though, on the hilltops, I was surprised and saddened to notice two new large homes overlooking the valley. Hard to pretend you’re in the backcountry when there are townhomes on the horizon. As grey and bleak as it was, the time I spent was memorable and I’m glad I got out. Maybe next time, I’ll even get to fish.
