Bear And East Sugarloaf Creeks

[The Southerner]

Looks like Friday and Saturday are going to be nice days, so I'm sure we'll see y'all at the lake, but it does bode a quick report request. Has anyone ever tried East Sugarloaf Creek or Bear Creek this time of year (spawn)? I'm sure the River Run Area will be getting hot, or is already, but we are just thinking of something new. Half the fun of fishin is the hunt for new grounds. Y'all enjoy!

Both creeks get pounded to death anymore. I used to fish them both alot mostly for bass but would catch a few walleye.

Fished at Bear Creek yesterday wound up with 30 something white's and 1 crappie. We caught 2 walleye both short.

Where do you put in to fish Bear creek? Do you have to wade or is it accessible from the bank?

You can fish from the bank, and most of the boats just back of of the gravel bars.

Is the boat traffic too heavy to fish safely out of a canoe if putting in further up the Bear creek, say around Lowery? What about floating down to the lake from the 14 bridge on Bear Creek?

Thanks.

Pretty long slow float from the bridge to Lowery, best bet would be put in at Lowery and paddle up until you find the whites. rumor said yesterday there were small males white near the island caught from the Crumpler side.
