What's in a number like 170? The answer, if you know where to look, is some darn good fishing. Not long ago I found myself parked in one of the best trout fishing hole's I've ever visited.  We picked off a few big rainbow s and browns.  Plenty of little guys too. Some on dry flies. Some on nymph patterns.  At the end of the day, when I exited the stream and headed back up to the road, I noticed, tucked away in the weeds, an old concrete marker with 170 etched into it.  Hmmmmm.  Not a mile marker (at least I don't think).  So, what is 170? More importantly,  do you know where 170 is?  Look familiar? Fished there before?  If so, drop me a line.  If you're not sure but have a pretty good guess, let me know as well. It might just mean a trip to 170 together for a little fishin'!
