Creek Hoppin'

Postby WaterGuy » May Thu 05, 2011 6:14 pm

I haven't been fishing the river much lately. I'm really tired of hitting the same high water spots over and over the last few years. So..instead of waiting for the river to come down, I've been hitting the creeks that already have come down.

The last few weeks the fishing on the Fox tributary streams has been pretty consistent when the levels aren't too high. The numbers haven't been amazing, but all the spots I've been hitting have produced at least a couple smallies. Also haven't caught any monsters, but plenty of fish in the 14-17 inch range.

A few weeks ago, I was getting some nice size smallies:
