OKFlyFisher44 Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 A buddy and I hit the creek up today for a few McClouds. The creek was already back to being relatively low considering the recent rains, its amazing how fast that creek drops and clears up. There was a couple of new log jams that screwed up a couple of holes but other than that, I didnt notice much of a change from the rains we got. The creek fished excellent today for us. Fish werent super spooky like the last trip, they were feeding all morning (even saw a few risers), and it was a great day on the water. Neither of us ever switched flies from what we started with. Cole stuck his fish with a #10 prince and I got my fish on a #10 "Crane RubberLegs" (a fly I whip up just for Crane). Wish I coulda fished it when the water was up from the rains but I can't complain too much, the creek treated us well today. Cant wait to go back.... Pics to follow....

Andrew324 Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 Chance you guys always seem to pull some nice fish out! The creek is in good shape. I fished it on Wednesday and caught many fish but nothing of tremendous size. Looks like your in the park but did you guys fish lower wire?

Members pruett417 Posted April 1, 2012 Members Posted April 1, 2012 Nice fish gentleman, good to see some size..........that's one of my favorite spots in the 2nd picture, I have a top secret nymph that may or may not be in the stonefly category that always produces in that area. An expert is a person who has made every possible mistake in a small field of study.
OKFlyFisher44 Posted April 2, 2012 Author Posted April 2, 2012 We just fished the upper and the park. I'm not a fan of the lower access. Amazing looking water but it has never fished good for me, never. Catch a dink here and there....about it. I like to think I have the upper and the park pretty well figured out so we always just stick to that normally. Love this creek. Check out my blog over the next day or so for a more detailed report.

Nortrad Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 Nice work boys! Always nice when you develop a pattern for a stream that comes thru.
Members Bamboozle Posted April 3, 2012 Members Posted April 3, 2012 My gosh you guys could at least smile after catching a couple of nice fish... See, that wasn't so hard...

Guest Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Too many people are catching hell for "grip & grin" shots nowadays. So, we thought we would do the "grip & frown" to see if it makes a difference!!! Haha! Just kidding. He's right Chancie, we either need to smile more or cut our heads outta the pictures so nobody can see if we're smiling or not!
