As you have already noticed there is a lot of cover in the creek. (by the way that is what we call it, "the creek.")

It gets a fair amount of pressure from people fishing for bass, but I don't think that many people fish just for crappie in it the way that I do. As the weather continues to warm the fish will move farther up the creek where it changes from being like a lake to being more like a river. It is a great little piece of water to have because it si so close and convenient to go and wet a line on an afternoon and not have to fool with driving to barren or malone and waste time that you could be fishing. With that being said however you will catch more and bigger fish at either of those two places than you will at the creek.
smashdn, welcome to crappie.com from BG KY. Are you talking about the creek off of 100 by the dam? I pass there all the time and wondered about the fishing there. Any restrictions on putting in there like motor limits or anything? Thanks in advance for any info. pm me if you like.
