Thanks for the info Dutch! I was looking at google map and I see Swinging Bridge Rd and a Grisham Ford rd, no Langley rd. I found Doc Eaton over a ways to the East, are there trout here?

I don’t know how far down the go.  They  go at least to the confluence of Crane and Spring Creeks because they come up Spring to our farm near Hurley.  My information is old as I quit fishing for them a long time ago.

We normally have them in the bull pen in the slew in Bland Spring.

They are a fun little bunch of paranoid fish, but what I want to know about are the Redfin pickerel

Why are you asking about them on a Crane Creek topic?  Do you believe that they are in it?

I almost stepped on one 25 years ago downstream near the farm. It was a warm spring day and there was a rock slide that led down to the creek. I thought "this would be a great place for a snake" and as I scanned down toward the water, I heard the flick of the tail. I looked down to my left and about a step away was a coiled up Cotton Mouth showing fangs and the classic white mouth (hence Cotton Mouth I read later that week at Barnes & Noble). I really thought I'd had a heart attack. 

I went upstream after that.

They sure looked like grass pickerel to me. Wouldn't  claim them as redfin.

Caught several about 6 years ago from the wire road access. Didn't get photos 😒.

Well, screw that then. I'm saving the postage and the drive time and trying elsewhere. I'll live without a McCloud RBT. I've already got a SRBD, Knobfin sculpin, and grass pickerel UNLESS someone wants to educate me about other fish that live there

That was only 6 yrs ago. I regret those decisions made in my youth. I know now that my lack of action has been detrimental to the integrity of this thread. Though not deserving I can only hope to receive some level of forgiveness.

😅😅

Anyway didn't have my phone or a camera on that trip. Don't remember why.
