Default Threepoint drainage

Hey, all -- was on a small tributary of Threepoint Creek today. Visibility was not great -- 8-10", almost none below small falls. Used hopper/dropper combo, but trout were only hitting the stim, so gave up on the nymph. Lots of 8" or so cutties on small (#10) stimulators and Turk's Tarantulas. Some as small as 6", some at least 10". Had one larger fish nail a fly, and missed him .

Rivers aren't crystal-clear, guys, but the fish are out there and hungry.
