The lowering angle of the warming sun causes great changes here at the foot of the high Tushars. The squirrels and chipmunks step up the pace of their gathering frenzie. The hummingbirds in transit from the north woods pass by looking for a sweet fix from the few lingering blooms on their way to their winter desert season to the south. The brown trout move up Bullion Creek from the Sevier river looking for a mate and a sandy place to lay their eggs. The bull elk bugle from nearly every mountain valley. The pinion jays do their haunting gang calls as they raid the sunflower seeds from the chickadees and siskins. The yellow and red colors start up on the high Tushar aspens and maples and move down the slope through the cottonwoods and oak. Soon the winter snows will take over the show. This may be our favorite season.

Sometimes we forget how fun it is to catch a beautiful small stream rainbow.
