Bee Creek Trout

[lonkm]

You guys chasing trout should of been at Bee Creek today. I caught a nice 14 in Bow today while trolling for whites and crappie.

Bee Creek? You mean the open, lake area just inside the creek? The creek itself isn't big enough for a boat.

I'm not surprised. Probably lots of trout up in any of the feeder creeks right now.

I've know there's lots of rainbows up in Turkey- always is this time of year. I've heard Coon Creek is fishing fairly good- has all winter.

And Bull Creek- I catch rainbows up in Bull as far as Walnut Shade in May. It's a great trout stream really... What would be a great float trip right now is floating from Highway 160 to F and fish for rainbows exclusively. I bet there's hatches of all kinds in Bull Creek. You'd be surprised.

I think it would be a wonderful idea for a person to sell wading fly trips in any of our area feeder streams on Taney in the winter.

OK- were you on Taneycomo or Bull Shoals? They each have a Bee Creek.

Phil, someone is selling wading trips in feeder creeks and has been all winter. Catch fish or it's free.

That's really a great idea. I've seen and caught some big rainbows right in Hollister on Turkey Creek in years past during the winter. I'm sure they're up in every creek that runs into Taney. Short Creek would be a good creek if you could find access- and it's right up Brett's street.

I think Lonkm was talking about Bee Creek on Bull Shoals.

SIO3 is right, I've seen the posts as well. Winter feeder creeks have had trout for years (during the winter), caught 'em in Turkey right in Hollister and othes. Apparently others have caught on.
