Feeder Creeks / My "clifty" Confusion

[jolicious]

Feeder Creeks: What do you think of when you hear feeder creek? Is there an actual creek in the back that feeds water to a cover, and thus feeds water into the main lake? Is a feeder creek simply any larger amount of shoreline off of the main lake? The more I try to research this, the more confused I get! Could someone please give me an example of a couple feeder creeks on Beaver so I can try to get my head straight?

Clifty Confusion: I hear "North Clifty", "Big Clifty", "Little Clifty" - that's a lot of "Clifties"!!

Is Big Clifty the first Right hand turn you can make when coming from Rocky Branch and running towards the dam (general direction)? If you travel straight, and don't make the first right, then you get to North Clifty? Is North Clifty also Little Clifty? It looks a lot bigger than Big Clifty on the map...

I'm seriously confused and appreciate any help you all can lend.

Thanks a bunch.

Guilty! Just remember whose boat takes you out, young man!

Feeder creek: a constantly flowing or intermittant trickling stream or ditch that has not yet been given a proper name.

The first person to catch a HAWG in it gets to name it whatever they want

Most of the large coves and some of the smaller ones on Beaver have feeder creeks, usually in the far back of the cove. Many of them are dry this year because of the drought, but we're supposed to get some good rain Sunday, so we should see some runoff from the creeks. A lot of the experts will tell you that when you get runoff this time of year that stains the water in the coves, that's where you want to be fishing. We just don't want so much rain that Beaver turns coffee brown.

Big Cliffty is actually actually a big spring and feeds water year around and is a cool spot during hot summer months.
