Wow! Beautiful photos. This guy is probably pretty desperate now, so better to stay safe than to take photos in that area. Great photos and as always, we know there ain't nothing like the real thing.
A three pound bass in this particular stream would be unusual. But smallies and largemouth bass in the 6 to 10 inch range are caught occasionally.
About 6 or 7 years ago, all damns on this stream were taken down and it now flows freely to the Delaware River some 10-15 miles of stream. That means, when the stream is high, many species could make their way up stream striped bass, steelheads, huge channel cats, a stray Shad
Most streams have been low around the state for months, but recent rains have elevated them some. I like to fish them when they're high and fast because that's when you get good pocket water and many fisherman stay away because they'd rather bottom fish than drift a fly.
Their loss, my gain.
Note the fisherman in the top photo upper right. He's leaving the stream after having caught nothing. Two others were fishing nearby and they caught nothing as well. I didn't have my fly rod but I think if I had drifted a number 16 Griffith's Gnat, if any of the species I mentioned (including several Sunfish species) were hanging around, it likely would have worked.
In narrow shallow water, big baits and lures and the plunk of even a small weight spooks the fish. A little dry fly floats gently down to the water's surface and on a 7 foot leader, the fly line doesn't get near enough to frighten a fish.
Man, I love streams, creek, brooks, and small rivers. Philosophically (as I noted in one of my published books), " looking upstream, one sees the drifting coming of the future, then, turning towards downstream, one watches it fade to the past and disappear."

Necessity is the mother of making the most of what's available after getting out of harm's way.
I'm home now in Philly where your good advice also applies.
Beautiful photos Mac.
Stay alert my friend.
I am greatly appreciative of your concerns my friends check the third photo, please. More to come.
Is that the slash of a fish at the end of the pool/creek?
It could be but I was looking through a viewfinder so I don't know. There are rainbows, browns, bass and sunfish in the stream so it's quite possible.
ol hawkeye says it's a largemouth, around 3 lbs.
Your photos show that you have beautiful views even closer to home, so for the time being stay safe.
I didn't know that bass were located in streams, I always thought they were found in lakes and larger rivers.
The stillness of the water, in the middle shot, makes hard to determine where the rock ends and the water begins. Very cool photo(s) Mac. Stay safe.

Gorgeous images, Mac. I am not far from those, you know, and they are lovely!:)
Thans jwc,
At present, I'm in Philly away from the Poconos.
