Members yummysmokedham Posted March 28, 2011 Members Posted March 28, 2011 This was the first time in probably 3 years I have been to Hickory Creek, and let me tell ya I am kicking myself now. I used only white glo-balls and white woolly buggers and flat tore them up. I fished from about 5 until 7 each evening, caught around 5 fish the first night and this evening I caught about 8 fish. Included are the photos of the fish that were semi photo worthy. The majority of them did not seem to be stocker sized fish so I am guessing they had been in there for a while. All of the fish were caught either near logs or brush or in swift water.

ollie Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Sorry to dissapoint, but those are all stockers. They stocked last on the 4th and they put some in that were around 14-15". Not trying to put you down, just saying those all look to be fresh stockers to me. Since you could kick yourself for not coming down more why don't you join us next week for the clean-up? "you can always beat the keeper, but you can never beat the post" There are only three things in life that are certain : death, taxes, and the wind blowing at Capps Creek!

Might come down if my schedule is free.
ollie Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Oh, I don't know, you could have caught one that was a hold over, but most like that seem to have a little more color to them. I just happened to know that they stocked that big this time around. If you can make down then try! BTW, nice report.
