That's not a bad idea. Those spring creeks like Tumbling does well on years where its a wet spring/summer. When its really dry they suffer some on holding fish over to the following year.
Don't discard warm water species like panfish. They are good practice too because most of the time its easy catching so you get more confidence in what you're doing. Plus everyone lives close to a creek that has those in it save on gas.
I was catching crappie the other night on my fly rod and had an absolute blast.
