Mill Creek - Ever Fished Here

[mic]

Has anyone ever fished the public section of mill creek at the top of this map upstream (where the picnic and parking spots are in red)?

[Kayser]

FS Rd 1576 crosses Mill Creek just upstream from the MTNF picnic area, and follows a different creek/hollow, up a ridge to cross Hwy T, then down the other side to the Vida Slab Bridge on the Little Piney. The road it branches off from runs from Hwy P, along Mill, past the Picnic area, and then to Bohigian on Hwy AA.

So basically, those red marks are for parking along Kaintuck Hollow, and not Mill Creek. If you come from Newburg, take T to P, you'll see the MTNF Mill Creek Picnic area sign on the right, with the gravel road on the left. Go a couple miles and the parking area will be on your left. Or, you could pass this road, go up the hill, take the left on AA, and then Bohigian will be on your left. Gravel parking lot.

So, does anyone fish Mill Creek downstream (north) of FM 1576 ?

[Kayser]

Doesn't really matter which way you fish.

Your killing me Kayser

Have you ever fished that area with any luck?

[Kayser]

Yep. The fish are there. I just prefer to let them go when the water is low like this- they bunch up in the deeper holes and can be hard to get to bite, and easy to spook.

I wonder how far downstream you have to go before there are smallies?

Find bigger water with some slower pools for bass.
