Thread: Little Fall Creek 12-3-2009

Those are some beautiful cutts!! Nice summer fish too. Gotta bonk 'em quick, they're crafty lol

Good job man those are some nice fish. I never fish lfc as much as I should. I grew up swimming and bbqing up there and there are some good holes when the water level is right. I was up there at the end of summer and it was way down. I feel in with my waders this spring trying to cross above the waterfall. Have you ever tried to fish above were you got that summer at? Also that spot if you can get across to the trees there are always some good lures to be found.

There is a cool fishladder 10 miles up. I was wondering about the first few pics. I regonized 2 of the holes you were at that explaines why i didn't know the others. Haven't been up past the gate much. Maybe twice in the last few years. Last time the locked us in but we had a torch and a prybar so we left the gate wide open with the broken lock in the middle of the road. The guys drove by and waved as we we fishing up there and never mentioned that they were the last ones down. I am suprissed that you got a summer that low but that is one of the deeper pools on the way up past it its seem there is a lot of shallow water. maybe he was waiting for these rains we got and started moving up again. If you decide to go back up i wouldn't mind tagging along. I usually use my trout rod a cast lures but haven't got any steel yet out of lfc.

I wouldn't mind checking that creek out more upstream. I think I hooked into this same summer about a week ago in the same hole, and its been there ever since.. seems like they get trapped in that spot cause theres such shallow water for the next few miles upriver.. I'll definately let you know if I go back out there anytime soon. Not too sure when that will be, but I was freezing out there...I did notice that lfc stayed waay clearer than any of the other rivers a couple of weeks back when we had all the rain, so I think it should make for a nice alternitave in the winter. Its hard to decide if I wanna go west to the slaw or east to go scout out this creek....

Yeah if you were scouting the creek than that is the same spot that we prefered to swim because of the rope swing. I remember when the was a mud mound to keep people from driving down the trail. Now the got a whole camp thing going on up there. Scott used to make us wait to swim until he could get a few casts in. I'm going to head up there tomorrow and check it out. Even though those fish have been in the system for a while i bet they would smoke up good unless they are just big river snakes then i'll toss em back.

I'll be with bfishin(got that jack at siltcoos that day) and we will be in a white jeep off sticker in the back window. not sure about going up past the gate but will be there in the afternoon until dark.
