Crane Creek Report 12/4/2011

Nice fish, and ditto on leaving them to their "duties".

Thanks for posting. Do you have any more general pictures of the creek? I'm collecting them

Phil,

You're more than welcome to check out my photobucket Crane Creek album. There's quite a few pictures of some of the fish I've caught as well as pictures of the creek.

Do I spy a fiberglass rod in those pictures? Been thinking about doing one....

It is the Scott F2 6'6" 3 weight. I'm lovin' it.

Great fish! Spawn is just beginning. I walked about 1/2 mile of creek yesterday and didn't see any redds but did see red-sided male fish. Remember also -- if you can resist -- it's probably best to refrain from fishing for awhile here. Spawning fish are vulnerable fish and getting caught and landed can stress them beyond the point of recovery. THIS fish clearly wasn't spawning and the spawn isn't on hard yet, so this comment isn't directed at trout_bum but is more of a general comment going forward.

As my picture shows, there are plenty of other trophies to be gathered on Crane Creek this time of year...
