Thanks for the post. I’ve fished Tincup dozens of times over the years. I have very fond memories as it was were I taught my son to fly fish when he was 8. After 5 minutes of creekside instruction he was telling me he was fine and didn’t need any more help. He caught 10 10-13 inch Cutts in about 40 minutes on a foam hopper. Just had to correct his casting stroke occasionally. Droughts are hard on that creek but most years it’s extremely productive for such as small creek. Erosion was cutting through many of the switchbacks with time. Besides the willows that we’re removed grazing cows clearly were very hard on that section- much more than above the bridge or along the highway downstream.
