Hickory Creek

[Tommy Neil]

They stocked hickory creek on friday afternoon, Went by several times on Sat and Sunday at the low water bridge and saw no fishermen just swimers. Monday no fish to be seen in the low water bridge area. I believe someone is netting them

I was there yesterday for a few hours and only saw 5 trout fromt the low water bridge north. I made comment on a thread awhile back that this creek is in serious need of enforcement. Shame its a beautiful creek that could be a great trout fishery.

Did you see who stocked it? Just curious. MDC usually stocks onTuesdays or Wednesdays. They also usually stock both Capps and Hickory the same week. I was at Capps Sunday and saw all of 3 trout up in the park under the old bridge. When Neosho stocks they don't put nearly as many fish in and to my knowledge they don't stock Capps. That would explain the lack of fish at Capps.

I saw quite a few trout at the north end handicap fishing area. I think Neosho is stocking hickory creek or they did last month.

The only time the hatchery at Neosho stocks either one of those creeks is after the fishing derbys. The state is responsible for stocking both of those creeks from the hatchery out of RR. The trout from Neosho goes to Taneycomo. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but that's the way it works due to management from the state. Not to say Neosho couldn't have stock down there, but it is highly unlikely from what Dave at the hatchery has told me. That being said, those fish do dissapear really quickly and it is probably due to over harvest from many. If anyone sees someone over taking their share don't hesitate to call MDC or the office in Neosho. That number is 451-4158 and let them know!!!

Put that phone no in my cell and will. I was at Capps creek this moring and caught several fishing from the dam. I had one good one on and knot broke at hook, didn't get to see how big its was but it was heavier than anything I have caught before there.

I just left Hickory and though there was almost 0 trout left there was a couple nice smallmouth and a flathead I did find. Cheif should be on his way to catch them seeing how i told him where
