I have absolutely caught a bunch of limits under the bridge at Gin Creek. The only problem now is that they keep the lake so low during Spring that the water is not up in the grass they like to spawn on. One Spring the water was high and we caught limits everytime we went single poling in the grass by the wardens station. If you go under the bridge there is a decent ledge that pre spawners love to hang out on before they move into the shallows. In the next 3 weeks we we start getting warmer nights you will be able to catch all the fish you want within paddling distance of Gin creek landing. Either around the rocks on the bridge or up around the bank. Fish are not hard to find in Tibby.
