Found A Creek To Wade Fish, Need Lure Advice

[drew03cmc]

Hmm, thanks JD. I was taking a spin rod as well anyway, but with the recommendations, I will run with it.

I would go with an ultralight and a rooster tail with gold blades and yellow, white, or black tail. Or tube jigs.

JD, A bunch has changed in the last 40 years, I mean Dylan has gone electric man! An ultralite rod with rooster tails? How are you going to drive the hook home on a tube jig with an ultralite? like playing pool with a rope! :have-a-nice-day: you know im just playin with ya

I used to fish a couple of those Flint Hill creeks - I'd try suspending jerkbaits (try the XRap in the 08 size, the Husky Jerk in the 10 size, or the Suspending Rogue Junior - all of these have two trebles, not three) and swimming grubs or smaller swimbaits. Slow deep pools with timber near the deepest part of the pool was usually the best shot.

Which creeks did you used to fish Randy? I haven't fished any of them, and I wish I had access to a few of them.

Hey, when I spin-fish these days it's usually with an ultra-light, and I almost certainly have either a Rebel Teeny Craw or a Rooster Tail spinner tied on. Those lures work as well as anything. Plus they're cheap:)

LOL

I'd take a coffee can full of worms. Red can. Hills Brothers.

Eric, that thought never crossed my mind.

OTF, I agree with you. The Rebel Craw is a very useful bait in small waters, as are the Rooster Tails!

I used to hit the Fall River above Fall River Reservior and the Caney River (actually pretty small like a creek) but both were back in the 90's before I moved to the Ozarks. I fished a few other's a couple of times but not enough to get a real "pattern" on like the other two.

[drew03cmc]

Man, I want to hit Fall River, but am unsure if it is wadeable as I am boatless at the moment.

[RSBreth]

No, I used to hual my big tandem canoe down into the Fall - which was not fun but necessary - the Fall isn't all that deep but has stretches with steep mud banks that just aren't wadeable.
