I have done fairly well fishing the shaded shorelines getting into the brush heading upstream from Defeated. I like flipping in the log piles close to shore and always do best staying out of the sun. As far a the Creek itself I usually don't do as well as others seem to do. If Im in water over 4 ft deep i seem to struggle.
I fish mostly up stream from the creek. Fly rod is great using wooly buggers or colorful streamers, I like to chuck and duck creature baits to. I
love the solitude of Cordell Hull and am preparing for some action below the dam next.
