All of us have waters that have made a special connection to us. Wyoming's Flat Creek is one of mine. Part of the attraction is nostalgic, since this is where I learned the intricacies of spring creek fishing. This stream was my schoolroom for spotting subtle rises, sneaking up on the fish, picking a good imitation, and then presenting a drag-free drift.
Flat Creek is also special because its scenic location a few miles north of Jackson, Wyoming, on the National Elk Refuge. It is surrounded by great vistas, such as the Sleeping Indian, the Tetons, and Snow King Mountain. Seeing waterfowl and being serenaded by coyotes in the evening also adds to the area's appeal.
