Mr.sharpe's Field/mill

Fri, 03 May 2013 19:30:22 +0000

I called the mill (not the farm) and asked if I still had to turn my license in for a tag or pay a day use fee. I think my last trip to the bridge was 2009 or 2010. The field to the north and across from the mill was cordoned off. My last trip there, I spoke with a lady who was keeping watch from the intersection of Bettis Hill Rd. and War Eagle Rd. Some idiot parked on the edge of the road and got his car stuck AND he still made his way to the stream. She said that it was shut down because of the graffiti on the bridge. Litter had been a bit of a problem but the graffiti was the last straw.

I spoke with a girl at the mill earlier today and she mentioned that it was free to fish - go and park. The updated website for the mill states, "The fish in War Eagle Creek practically jump on your line. Well, maybe not with that much enthusiasm, but the Creek is a great fishing experience at certain times throughout the year. Kayaks to canoes or fisherpeople on foot, we welcome you. Pick up a kid and go fish."

I called again a few hours later and spoke with an older lady. She mentioned that people are always fishing from the field and bridge. Mr.Sharpe doesn't want anyone using metal detector's though. I was astonished. I thought for sure fishing from the field was done for. The past previous time i was there and before the field was cordoned off, there were tons of people down there and litter was strewn everywhere - diapers and anything you could imagine. I had never seen that many people down there.

When I traded my license that day for a tag to put in my window, I landed 13 spotted bass in about an hour and went home. Time to head back but SPREAD THE WORD - KEEP THE AREA CLEAN - remember the cemetery hole got shut down due to littering.

War Eagle @ Hwy 412

Has anyone fished War Eagle Creek near it's junction with Hwy 412? Is there an access near by?

I drive past there every week but never have time to stop and check it out. It looks like it might be a nice creek to fish.

If there's no place to access near 412, is there anyplace to access this creek besides Beaver Lake???

Withrow Springs State Park

Ok, so nobody has info on War Eagle Creek at the Hwy 412.

Does anybody have any experience fishing at Withrow Springs State Park?

I'd like to do some fishing out that way on my way to Rogers this Sunday but I don't want to haul my rods and tackle along for no good reason. Is it worth trying out?

Any input would be appreciated.
