To a creek. Several hundred yards downstream from where I joined the creek, it went over a high waterfall and eventually seemed to join the Nakogami S.B.
Wacona. This creek has clear water flowing and consists of numerous pools. From 130-1350 I got 17 fish (Shawn by his trip) along its steps down to the creek and along side I stream (downstream).

Returned to write notes. Had coffee drink with Meisel's brother and 3rd sons of trips. Brother was off after his to first two home visits. This was a clear day, with some clouding and brief rain shower in the PM. Meisel's are from Bavaria and with the Lutheran Missionary Circuit. They have been in Wacona for since last Feb.
