ollie Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Going to try and make it down there this Sunday if I can. Anyone else interested in making it? Should be pretty good fishing.

Buzz Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Yeah,I might make it down. I was going somewhere I just hadn't decided where yet. I haven't been there in 3 weeks,so I probably will see you Sunday morning. If fishing was easy it would be called catching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Grey Bear Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I as well planned on hitting some water this weekend. I guess I just as well make it Capp's.

ollie Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 Fishing wasn't too bad Sunday, but the bigger fish from last month have either spread out or have been culled out. My neighbor and I showed up around 9:00 and found Kyle already down there. We all headed upstream and started fishing probably by 9:30. Things for me really didn't heat up till at least 11:00 or that seems to be when the bite turned on. Caught around 12 for the day. All pretty small stockers with the biggest being around 13". My neighbor caught the biggest of the day. A 17" bow that I'm sure has been a hold over from last year it would seem. He caught his on a black jig and mine were caught on a ginger and a black color. Weather turned out to be pretty good also.

Buzz Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Yeah,it was a pretty day. It was tough early. I left Ollie and Alan and moved on upstream. I did manage two nice fish, a 15 in. a 16 in. I got back down to where Ollie was fishing and ended my day at 19 fish one of which was a small 8 or 9 in. brown. I pretty much used every color in my arsenal and ended up catching most on a caddis green grub. Sorry we missed you Chief. I went up to the Mill and didn't see anyone or any fish for that matter,so I went down to lower parking access. I usually have the most success upsteam from there if it's been a while since the last stocking. We'll get this thing right eventually. How did you do on Shoal Creek?

Chief Grey Bear Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I was hoping that was your truck I left the note on. It was just a guess on my part but when I saw the tag on the front, I took a chance. My son Dylan and I got to the mill about 10 min until 9:00. We started fishing at the old bridge and worked our way down. Dylan missed one at the new bridge. I didn't have any action until we got the first hole below the bridge. I missed two and finally stuck one. We fished until about 9:30 or so and then loaded up and headed down to the other access. When did they put up the new fence? We hit the other access about 9:45 or so. Saw a dad and son fishing at the bridge. We started moving upstream and hit a couple of likely looking spots. I caught one and we started moving on up as we were in the vicinity of another person. We made contact with him and stuck up a conversation. Actually he struck it up. He said "Well, I guess the word is out!". We were still making our way down the well worn path and I looked up and said, "What's that?". He stated it again and I said, "Are we disturbing you?" "Oh, no not all" he said. I guess as it turns out, he said that the stock truck made a delivery on Christmas Day (his words) and now everyone is hunting them. He was pleasant and he had is Chiefs red on and we talked a little football. Dylan and I walked on up to the swimming hole and started working our way back down. I missed three more at a place I call the cattle hole. I had them on good but not good enough. We decided to leave it to the others and headed out. The Shoal Creek was more of a hunting expedition. I was checking for a couple of spots that my dad has told me of. He was born and raised just west of Wheaton and spent a lot of time as a young child on Shoal Creek and a couple of others in that area. So with that and some things that I have read, I getting a couple of spots narrowed down pretty close. After looking around a little we headed back to Neosho. Just north of Wheaton we spotted 7 or 8 Bald Eagles flying like buzzards. Then we saw 2 more near Stark City. Just beautiful. On the way to the house we stopped at Hickory Creek. Action was a little hotter there. We fished there for about an hour maybe and then went to the house. We decided to do a little squirrel hunting out east of town. As we were leaving town I believe I saw Ollie and his neighbor fishing the north end of Hickory. I should have stopped but didn't. Wasn't sure if was him or not. Next weekend is looking to be near 60*. Any takers?

Buzz Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I'm game. I'll be at the north end just above the bridge. I'm not sure what time I'll get there,probably around 8:00 am. I'll look for you.

ollie Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 I'd like to go, but not sure about the wind issue this weekend.

Chief Grey Bear Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I hope you guy's are talking Sunday. Otherwise it will be Sat afternoon for me. Dylan has a B'ball game Sat morning and then I have to go and visit my dear sweet mother. I should be back to town about 3:00. I have the whole day Sunday. Well so far I do. I haven't got any orders yet from the warden. Sunday is not looking to be a good day, but should be a fishable day anyway. The wind may work to our favor. Prolly not though.
