Bird Watcher Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Shoal Creek and Spring River will be my haunts when the conditions are right. Thanks for the info! Do you know where the old "Georgia City" Bridge is just down from the mouth of the the little North Fork on the Spring? Man, 20 years ago we would stack mallards there when it was frozen. It was really good when the river starting freezing and was only open in the riffles. It's all different now. Landowners have changed and it became a well known spot with lots of competition for the ducks, but back in the day, wow!. Somewhere I have an old VHS tape of mallards filling up 3-400 yds of the river while I stood right in the middle of them with a camcorder after we limited out one morning. I can still get permission on the property downstream of the 43 bridge, but it's just not the same, or at least I've never been able to catch it when it was anywhere near as good.
Chief Grey Bear Posted December 21, 2011 Author Posted December 21, 2011 Know the area well. I hadn't thought about that area though. But since you mentioned it, with all the grain fields in the area and the size of the river at that point, I can see how it would be a great spot! Sometime this summer I plan on putting in at that bridge and floating on over to KS on an over nighter. I am figuring it doesn't get floated much due to the lack of access.
