Blue Springs Creek 9/22/18

Oh I definitely agreed.  BSC, Mill Creek., and the other teensy trout flows do nothing for me.  I'd prefer them dammed up and a decent bass pond made out of them.   

Although if they did that THERE it would be a gated community surrounded by $400k homes and us pickle farmers wouldn't be allowed in.

Never got down to blue springs creek but fish crane a lot. . . Sound s similar. . . Secret is wait for a rainy stretch to muck up the water a little and remember to stay out of the creek if at all possible. Long leader and accurate casts. Hope you get back out there . Nice shiner!  Good report

Depends on how you fish those teeny creeks...I have caught some respectable trout on them when single and in college. I'm  older & possibly smarter now. No time to waste on that right now. I prefer to go where big fish are common instead of hunting unicorns.

That's like riding a tortise really fast.  

Here we go with the long leader thing again. 😅

When I was single and in college (Rolla), I fished everything close but BSC and did fairly well on a consistent basis. Mostly used an 8' 4wt, but wish it was a 8.5-9' some days.

If you have to use 6x due to water clarity, it's gonna be a tough day, and that's on any Blue Ribbon but the Current. You can pull some small fish with tungsten beadheads under a big dry, if you're sneaky and throw delicate upstream casts while keeping a low profile. Those fish live on bottom near cover, and prefer broken water.

I've got lots of stories, and a couple pictures, but I don't think I've posted them here.

Good luck.
