Here's the deal... Big creek like many others in Lincoln, St. Charles, Warren, & Montgomery used to fish really good all things considered. However due to development, creeks like that have suffered in that area and also like creeks in that general region (Charette, Lost, & Masses comes to mind) the locals consider those criks trespassing if you aren't invited by a land owner so for real, watch it! As far as fish, the creeks in that area are in the "transition area" of the Ozark hills to the south & the prairies of the north but they still have Ozark characteristics so expect those type of fish NOT including trout although there is a couple SMALL springs on Big. Indian Camp Crik used to be a good one as well but that was before the construction of Incline Village! Hope this helps and if you go, be prepared for anything...
