"Famous old guys" at Deer Creek? Really? Are they ghosts? I ask, because I thought all the original Deer Creek regulars have died - Ken McCloud, Enos Bradner, Wes Drain, a few others whose names don't jump immediately to mind, and Walt Johnson last year.

Or is there a new generation of "famous old guys"? And who, by name and sacrosanct standing, would fish the Deer Creek beat by low-holing? In days gone by, that sort of behavior called for a serious flogging.

I haven't fished the Stilly in years, but have many fond memories of it. Is there any water left, or has it all run off now, leaving shallow riffles for the kings to snake their way upstream?

Sincerely,

Salmo g.
