To...

Since I plan to fish some spring creeks in a few weeks I was curious, What advice would one give to someone that has never tried this ? I figured 7x and dry's will be on the menu. I guess the question would be this, Is a spring creek really that much tougher then your average sierra freestone river, or tailwa...
