Birds are a big reason why fishing gets good on the lake in the fall and winter. They also are the reason the fish run to these Conway Fall/Winter hot spots, Commarants and Pelicans show up...Fish Run to get away from them on the main lake and run up the creeks, or where people are located to keep birds scared off.. If there are no fisherman to keep them scared off they will even invade the hot spots such as Gold Creek. I see it every year If fishing is slow and there is nobody fishing on Gold Creek...The creek and pool gets pounded by big fish eating birds. It is important for us to keep fishing places like Gold and Caney creeks before it goes to the birds. And now that the Big Boys (Pelicans) are showing up by the 1000's it's even more important to keep fisherman up the creek before it goes to the birds.
