I lived in Walnut shade for years and fished on foot most of Bull Creek. It is full of small smallmouth Bass. Biggest I caught was 16 inches. Rough little stream, but so beautiful. the lower end dumps into Tanycomo and that area is deep and clear and full of bass. Go uplake from Rockaway beach launch a little ways and turn right into Bull creek arm. Good stuff. Be carefull of the Walnut Shade roving Theifs.

Wow, old post back from the grave.

...if anyone is interested in an exploratory wade or float this spring, let me know.

Bluegill?

It has been exceptionally low the last couple of years. When there is water people often launch at Walnut Shade and take out at Rockaway Beach. It is a long paddle through Taneycomo however, but not trip killer.

The fish in this part of the country seem to abandon the creeks that get low in the winter for the comfort of the lakes where possible. Mid to late spring they return like salmon.

Do many trout run up Bull Creek in the winter months? Might be kinda fun to chase them in some skinny water?

[duckydoty]

yes

[Brian K. Shaffer]

double yes to the trout coming in Bull

Bull creek is a little different than most of the creeks around the lower sections are great fishing with steep gradient when there is enough water in bull to float a person should be somewhat experianced in white water paddling. Watch the gauge at walnut shade if its above 4.5 ft. then its getting close to being more of a white water trip. Anything below and your good down to about 3.5 ft otherwise its a wade stream Swan and beaver are good fishing to but no trout however the whites run up both those streams.
