Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted March 14, 2018 Root Admin Share Posted March 14, 2018 We drove over to the creeks last evening to check out the reports we've been hearing about. "Swan is loaded with fish. Beaver is on fire - whites and crappie". We didn't find much. First bad sign was... no cars. It would be the only one over there and catching fish but that's not how it works. If there's cars and trucks in the park, on the road, the fish are biting, right? Both creeks are clear - great looking water. Didn't take any temps. We fished in the park at Swan - Duane caught a couple of stinkin' bass. We drove to Beaver and drove through the field past the tin whistles - I think Duane caught another s-bass. Then we drove back to Powersite and fished from the bank below the dam. I caught a stinkin' trout. Here's a pic of Beaver and where the water is at this lake level. You may be able to drive to the creek up from the whistle road across the field - the creek level is real close to going into the field so it may be tough. But as the lake keep dropping, the creek should be more accessible. Duane thought the first riffle would be at the bluff down from the 160 bridge. Looking down the road. Looking up the creek from the road. View full article Fish24/7, Flysmallie and tho1mas 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flysmallie Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Thanks for the update Phil. I've been wondering about water conditions on both lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish24/7 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 thanks for the pics and info Phil, thinking about going after dark, that's when I usually do pretty good if the water is clear up the creek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laker67 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I use to go to every early march. I would always fish swan creek side but from the ball field up along the sand bank. Never did great but was always entertaining. Usually I would talk to a gentleman by the name of Paul Henry. One day when I was fishing, I found some nice size walleye right up along the bank in a dazed condition. After working with them for a while, they slowly swam back out away from the bank. Later that day, Paul Henry told me that AFG had been up there doing one of their shock surveys. Occasionally I would catch a small walleye or two but not that day.
