The fish in that creek are definitely spooked out easily. I'm surprised that brown still bit because I had to climb right over that hole a few minutes before I hooked into him because I got stuck on a rock right above the little fall he was under. I consider myself lucky on that catch. I'll have to check it out. Or if you're fishing it one day we can meet up. I plan on getting really in tune with both Dunnfield and Van Campens. My friends refuse to buy a rod under a 9' 5 wt because they think they're in Montana, and that line will definitely spook anything in there. Not to mention spooking every hole due to launching into the hemlocks.
