build up of spawning gravel very prevalent at low water.
Luck in timing of this observation .... Water disturbed by thrashing Otter .... definitely feeding on something in the waterway above the riffle!
Rare to see the creek muddy like this ... now we know about this temporary sedimentation.
In pool below riffle = tossed in rolled up yellow 'buttercup balls' & Observed 5-6 frisky fry (coho/cutthroat?) rise to nibble them!
