The water is very skinny and most of the decent pools that I am used to fishing on Upper Piru Creek are nothing more than puddles.

It wasn't a wasted trip, but there weren't too many pockets that looked capable of sustaining life.

This small pool is pretty deep in the winter.  It's the first time I have seen the bottom, which will help when the flows return.

The water is very clear now, but in the winter months runoff and rain water will drop the clarity significantly.
