Take Me to Some Wider Place: Dream Stream

Deckers and 11 Mile Canyon often feel too confined, noisy, busy and crowded. Yes, these tail-waters fish well but after a while I prefer the empty spaces of South Park and the meandering Dream Stream.

The Dream Stream is tough to fish but at least I can breathe and expand my lungs in a wider place. Yesterday morning we viewed a beautiful rainbow, not in the net, but intensely displayed  across the sky. Three of us reached for phones and cameras but none of us could snap a picture. Batteries dead.

Perhaps that is how it is to fish the Dream Stream. Always chasing phantoms and never certain of what we saw or what pulls on the line as few of the big fish are ever landed. Often we have no proof of what we hooked into, of what we dreamed of holding in our hands or what we viewed in South Park's magnificent sky.
