Chimney Tops Creek Red River Gorge

[Tim_T]

Heading there in the morning, meeting Deaddrift84 and Colonelmeyer. It is a remote brown trout stream that supposedly has some natural reporduction. Anybody ever fished it?

[Deaddrift84]

Yeah, I know I've seen some of you guys post about it before. Anyone have any current intel for us?

[Tim_T]

I have yet to talk to anybody that has ever fished it, with the exception of one person who got lost for hours before finding the stream and then only had 30 minutes to fish. Looks like we will be on a big exploring mission, see you in the morning!

Btw it is going to be closer to 8:30 before I get there in the morning.

It's tough going so I've been told. Carry plenty of water, some snacks you know emergency stuff just in case, and good luck.

Well we think we found Chimney Top Creek but we didn't see any fish. Tim's the only one that even threw a line in there. Maybe we should of walked farther upstream (we covered about a mile of trail)? Ended up driving back over to East Indian in the afternoon where we saw some trout but had trouble catching them. Deaddrift hooked some but they escaped. I only landed two. Got some video of the second one smack talk included. Heh, heh, heh.

Nate, I am pretty sure we were on the right stream, just think maybe we were not in the right location. I intend to track down the details and maybe we can take an entire day on Chimney Top until we figure it out.

I did finally manage two bows, about a quarter mile down stream from that huge rock you sat on in the first area we hit. Both took the Prince Nymph, also managed one more creek chub for good measure!

Good times as always!

[Deaddrift84]

I'm the only one that gets skunked, again. Going to Big bone tomorrow with Nate to salve my bruised ego.

Nick, if it helps I will confess to not knowing the second trout was on there LOL. I was actually lifting up line to make another cast and there he was. It wasn't exactly a great display of fishing savvy!

[colonelmeyer]

Good times friend, good times.

I hooked two nice ones, (for stockers) and couldn't land em'. I hate when that happens. Nate and I went to the Bone this morning, but they obviously hadn't done the stocking. If they tell me they didn't stock fish because it was raining I'll puke. KDFWR is really letting a lot of us down on stocking this year. Last year they had so many extra fish they had to dump them at places they normally can't take them. And this year they can't get fish stocked in the best months of the year to fish. I don't get it.
