Fishing Report

[Trav]

Went above Bull Creek to find some clear water.

It is alot better from Twin Islands to the mouth of Bee Creek. Starting at Bee, I basically just speed fished the whole shoreline to the Twin Islands with a crankbait and a spinnerbait. All that shoreline and only managed to pick up four sport bass. Granted, I was using some pretty big baits and the fish I did catch were real chunks.

I must have witnessed over a thousand rainbow trout surface between those two points, spread out over maybe three hours. Most were in the six to eight inch range. What gives? I thought they quit taking those teeny ones from Neosho? Obviuosly not.

Anyway, the water was glass, and watching all those fish feed was enjoyable.

A little late but I'll chime in anyway. I have been throwing a shakey heady with a finess worm or trick worm (trick worm produces better quality most of the time) and a 4 1/2" stick o in one of the watermelon colors. I usually drag the shakey head like I would a split shot rig in the areas that have more rock than the weeds. The sticko gets worked past the dock walkways and in the areas with weeds. I fish it with a twitch pause most of the time with anywhere from a 2 - 10 second pause until I find out what the fish want. That's what works for me. If anyone else fishes this area I would love to see your comments.

Thank you. I know it will be a week or so before I can make it down again. But I will give it a try and report back.
