Thread: Douglas- Upper end

pre-flood, around the end of Dec., first of Jan was catching some in Muddy Creek but the water color has just not been the same I think thats why I've been fishing above Swann's lately.

Yea im always down on the lower end, but its been really muddy. I figured I'd try it up there this weekend but wasnt sure how much cleaner the water was flowin out of the river. I just pray it doesnt rain a whole lot the next couple days or it will be all screwed up for a while.

I'm not a big fan of 38 to 40 degree water temp, but I have killed them at 38 and swanns would be the place too do it, but I had zero at nina sunday and talked to a lease 4 boats all had no fish.but its time

you fellas troll though dont you? im a float and fly or float and minnow kinda guy. I figure we all do it a different ways, in search of the same thing.

anybody hit Indian Creek lately?

We fished Indian Creek Sunday after Church, water was muddy under the bridge, it looked good at point 14 but we could not get a hit but saw a few fish from 11 to 18 ft , went on up to the Indian Walk and on past to what we refer to as Cat Fish Sams place and even above that and back to point 14 and never saw a fish on the locator. Maybe in about two weeks??

They were some fish caught in the cove at Swans Dock area over the weekend but normally you will go straight out from the dock to the river turn right and go under the interstate bridge (monday they were some caught just as you come up out of the river about 50 yards above the bridge, also some were being caught as you come out of the hollow at Fancher's Campground just to your right if you are on the above bar). Or go straight on up the river to Nina Hollow (4 places to fish--In the mouth of the holow, on the bar right above Nina Creek, back towards the silo in 12 to 4 ft of water, or on the right side about 400 yds above nina on the stumps) or even beter just look for the boats. I hope this will be of some help to you.

ok thanks for the info, guess we'll try Swanns and if nothin, go up a little further. like i said im not really familiar with the area. Ask me bout flat creek or mcguire and I can tell you where about everything is (when the water is up), but not the upper side.
