Flat Creek Smallmouth

[chris8126]

I was going to visit a friend who wants to fish Flat Creek, anyone fish this very often, any advice different from other streams. I was probably going to be there around August 15. I would be in canoe and wading and have a 6 weight fly rod I would like to try out as well as my medium spinning outfit. Anyone have any advice for flies. I have read other general posts on stream fishing so if it applies here also sorry.

Thanks,

Chris

Which one?

I had a lot of luck yesterday jigging an amber tube off the bottom. I think this will work pretty well if the water is as clear as it was yesterday.

It is right around Table Rock.

I'd float 39 to EE. The creek is low and gin clear. You'll have a great time. Standard smallie fare is all you need. PC

your flies should consist of at least a few hoppers , a few craws , leech imitations , a small white and purple streamer , bumble bees , and poppers.

your lures of choice wiggle wart crawdad imitations or a soft plastic version for the harder to reach places, a good yozuri jerkbait (very small prismatic purple is your best bet) or a rapala of the same size.. a good white / white and green / white and blue / craw color spinner bait... a small soft plastic assortment wouldnt be a bad idea either, small worms , craws, minnows, the pede's , grubs things of that nature .

use light line and cast close to structure.. good luck
