War Eagle Creek Question

[LB&M]

My wife decided she wanted to go to the War Eagle Fair in October. It's been several years since we were there. Anyway, this time I reserved a RV site at Withrow Springs State Park for a few days so we can just kick back. In the past I haven't really paid much attention to War Eagle Creek. The park brochure says they have canoe rentals. My questions are: Is it worth taking my kayaks along in mid October or will the creek be too low? And...Is it worth fishing this creek then? I'll probably take a flyrod anyway but just wondered for planning purposes. Thanks,

Floyd

It is always worth bringing the fly rods......kayaks will depend on water levels. I would recommend waders and do some hiking along the creek. It is a beautiful place to fish, and not very crowded.

Its defiantly worth fishing.

I fish/float it a lot. It's not likely to be floatable in October unless we get a fair bit of rain. Used to be that hardly anyone floated it, but there's an outfitter operating below the highway 45 bridge now. I imagine he's taking people out at gar hole, but they may be doing takeouts at the Mill too.

Thanks all. I think I will leave the kayaks at home. This will be a trip to just kick back a little following a northern NM/southern Colo trip. I will bring the flyrods tho'. It will be a good opportunity to get to know a new TFO finesse rod that should be here in a couple of days.
