A Change in Scenery, Crooked Creek

DATE: Saturday, 9/24/2005

TIME: 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM

WEATHER: Low 80’s, cloudy, light wind

WATER CONDITIONS: Normal

LOCATIONS FISHED: Crooked Creek, downstream from Snow Access

HATCH: None

ROD USED: Cabela’s light-action spinning rod and reel

FLIES USED: Rebel crawfish, Rebel grasshopper, Little “O”

OTHER: I fished with Kay, Ron, and his friend, Beverly. We had a great morning, and caught lots of fish, though most were small. We caught smallmouth bass, bream, rock bass, and a sucker. Ron caught a couple of dozen with several smallmouth bass weighing a pound or more. I hooked and played a short time a nice smallie, probably about two pounds, before it broke off. I could have done much better with a fly rod, but didn't know the conditions of the stream well enough. Next time, I'll take a 4 or 5 weight. Fishing Crooked Creek should be good until mid-November.
