Great video. Was wondering whose responsible for rehab on final 5 miles? What's the hold up? Who should be pushing for completion of Rush Creek rehab?

Such a neat video. I remember watching this video for the first time several years ago, and instantly wanting to give Rush creek a shot. I had two very frustrating days, where I could tell there were plenty of fish around, but they all had lock-jaw.

It's a really interesting place. I would love to see it all get fully restored.

What a wonderful story. Thanks for posting the link, Jon. Maybe some day Rush Creek will be restored.

Four of us fished down low on Rush during the 2012 Volcano Party, me, Tom Sakai, Rob and Mark. It was a brushy * down there. Looks like Photobucket is allowing the old pics to be seen again?

We got some okay fish, but it was a battle to get to them. We should do another VP - maybe this year?

Great memories, Jon. Thinking the same thing about getting together again....both at your place and maybe a fall waterside deal. Not sure about Photobucket but I see them without any filters. As always, reading your posts is like being there.

I have never been to a VP. I am willing to change that social oversight.

I find the image of angling near the mouth very interesting and a reminder - For years I thought of hitting this spot on rumors of browns darting into the lake (Mono) for shrimp and fly larvae. Talk about a curious scenario ...

I always wondered the same thing but I found that the creek forms an alluvial plain at the end with the channels being less than 6” in depth. At least that’s how it was the couple of times I ventured down.

Yeah - The topography definitely says "Not really a likely area for killer habitat" ... I'll bet some of the most interesting stuff is long lost under Grant Lake.....
