Hi , it’s been awhile.
I’m getting the urge to wet a line .
Haven’t fished much since Covid .
I’ve got a spot I’m thinking of trying that was good during warm weather.
It’s a creek below an old mill dam .
I did pretty good there with my flyrod last time .
I think if I go during the week I may be able to have it to myself .
Anybody fish moving water in the winter for bluegills ?
Supposed to be 60 on Tuesday .
Going try to get out and try my luck .
I’ll report back if I get to go .
Let us know, I am going Tuesday also. I have a nice spring here.
Will do , I’m planning on giving some trout magnets a try as well as some micro jigs I tie myself .
Don’t know if my arthritis in my hands can handle the flyrod when it’s cool .
Worst I can do is have a good time trying .
I do....except this winter I’m dead in the water recovering from spinal surgery so I’m missing out. In the winter they will stack up at places like you just described.

i found a creek with a waterfall , or should say my wife and kid did
they said it had pretty large fish in it
sure enough when i visited it was full of bluegill and some other larger fish i have yet to indentify
i will hit it soon ....
Try to find a bend in the channel. Fish that pretty hard.
Did I just read that there's a fish in N. America....let alone in Texas that Ketchen can't identify.

I haven’t made it to the creek yet .
We can a front come through three days ago that dumped a couple inches of rain raising the creek out of its bank .
Dropped the temps below freezing too .
Going to try to get by there in the next couple of days as the days start warming . Got to time it before the next front coming in Thursday.
Would love to see some warmer weather around here! It will be awhile but I like hearing the experiences with moving water fishing. That’s my primary waters.
57 high today , 59 tomorrow, 61 on Tuesday .Quote:

Picture of my creek taken a couple years ago during warmer weather.
Beautiful spot. Catching fish is just a plus!
Sure does look like a perfect spot.
It gets a lot of pressure from the worm and bobber fishermen. But I’ve always done pretty good with my flies and jigs . . Have to fish for. them like trout .
Checked out the creek this morning.
Not good . Too much water flowing . I should have thought about them releasing water upstream fro the two reservoirs above the old mill pond with rain due in here on Wednesday.
Left and went to the town pond .
By the time I got there around noon , the clouds had hidden the sun I woke up to .
No sun and the water doesn’t warm up .
In two hours I had two light nibbles on a tiny 1/80th white marabou jig .
Don’t always catch em , especially in the winter .
