Mill Creek - I'm So Sad

[mic]

I made it out to Mill Creek on Saturday, and it just isn't the same.  The water is so low and gin clear there just isn't much space of any kind to hide fish from predators.  My trips before there was iffy water were you catch some small ones, but some good holes with colored water that you really took your time to fish.  Now with the exception of a couple of large tree balls in the creek, nothing that I saw.  At least at BSC the runs are only a few feet apart so they go deep.  At Mill they are 20 feet apart and no real deep water.  I'll be back some day, but not for a while.

That is very disappointing to hear.  I love that little creek.

dang. sad to hear... i'm still gonna try it later this week.  If i might ask though did you fish at Bohigian? thanks!

Yea... I went from the main parking lot downstream on the path probably a half a mile.  I fished upstream and tried to make it to the spring influx hoping for better water, but I knew I was in trouble when my daughter started making sand castles instead of fishing.  I probably made it a 1/4 mile or more upstream of the drainage creek before giving up.  Let us know if you had better luck then me.

will do. Gonna shoot for thursday and since gonna rain wednesday hopefully it will add a little flow and at the very least some color but being my first time giving mill a try i dont have much expectations either way just excited to give it a try. thanks man!!!

You may try parking near the low water bridge and working downstream.  I'm hoping for the fish and you, there is better water above where I quit.

[Eric82]

hey there are you referring to the low water bridge upstream from bohigian?  i was at feathercraft on saturday and they said to try down by the mill creek rec area. i think thats downstream of bohigian... Also did you happen to pull any fish outta spring creek?  you said some good water near the J bridge? still trying to find where i can park and whats considered "public" etc... thanks again.

[mic]

Yes. I was.  Bohigian is the only place I tried. 

I didn't fish Spring Creek.  Just got out and looked at it.  It was bigger then I expected that is why I was curious about upstream from there.  

[Eric82]

Cool. I'll have to give it a try.

Eric, don't know if you're off to Mill this morning but if you are, we received precious little rain here yesterday.  Certainly there will be no increase in flow or color.  I haven't been over Mill in a while but I'm not surprised to hear it's so low.  We went over two months with no measureable precipitation down here.
