The water

Spearfish Creek (Spearfish) is a freestone river in South Dakota, fished for brown trout, rainbow trout, brook trout — rainbow, brown, brook. On free-flowing water the trajectory is the story: falling and clearing after a bump is the window, rising water pushes fish to the banks and brings colour.
