Hickory Creek Report

[Chief Grey Bear]

Took the youngun's to Hickory Creek yesterday before the storm. Got in about an 25 minutes of fishing before the rain. Didn't get anything. The water is still running a little high but clear.

Went back after the storm and caught one bass in the neighborhood of 11 to 12 inches up by the ballbark. Also missed one and caught one trout in the 12 inch range near the soccer field.

Hey Chief...

Hows it looking over they?? (after the clean-up) Is it staying clean?

The wife and I are thinking over taking a weekend drive soon... we may head that way...

The water looks great right now. It as a perfect flow. Just right in my opinion. Running just shy of Gin clear. But close enough.

Since some heavy rains lately, some of my old holes have cleared up nicely. The part that we cleaned is still looking good.

If you head up this way give me a holler.

I stopped by there today and saw the most beautiful 13-14 inch trout you have ever seen. I was fishing a piece of the creek that last year you couldn't because of low water conditions. He followed what I was using right to me and took one swipe but missed. And let me tell you when he turned, you couldn't have used a magic marker to put any brighter color on him. It was the most brilliant colors I have ever seen. Just absolutely magnificent.

Some of these Missouri trout are just gorgeous. You could not paint a better trout!
