Waded Floyd's Fork

[MrSplitshot]

Dude, I'm not trying to tell you what to do, but HEED Mr. Splitshot's word, he speakath the truth my friend. He and his fellow creekers have seen what the meathogs can do, it's devasting to say the least.

Is there room for a parking garage with one of those yellow arms and place where you can take a ticket?



Seriously, not trying to be a horse's arse here, but I speak from experience because I made the mistake myself. Actually met a dude on the creek one time who recognized me from a photo that was on the website and thanked me for letting him know about the spot to fish. He said howdy and kept on down the creek, dragging a basket behind him with a couple smallies in it. I don't share creek fishing spots on the board anymore...

The little smallie creeks can't handle the pressure, and even if they could, the lack of access spots will eventually cause a landowner to get ticked off and lock'er down. We're not dealing with Lake Cumberland here boys.
Throw those creek bass back and share the story with us, just don't tell us where...I don't wanna know...and more importantly, I don't want that dude with the basket to know.

But that's just my opinion...

Words of wisdom on the internet about not sharing specifics but seriously that stretch of Floyd's Fork he is mapping out is pretty lame. FF has a few decent fish in it in places but it is not a prime creek fishery by any stretch of the imagination. Smallmouth are actually pretty sparse in the creek and the numbers of most fun species - rock bass, crappie, etc. are all not that great. Beats casting in the back yard but this isn't prime waters.

That may be the case but that water might be special to a few (myself not included) - they might enjoy lipping the several fish that remain and would hate to see them disappear.

With that said all bucket-brigaders head over to Blue River in Indiana - that one has zillions of dinks that need to be weeded out.

I have never kept a fish that I caught from Floyds Fork and I fished it as a boy all thru high school and in college. I took my wife there several times before we were married. I once caught a sauger there once and was shocked, but mostly goggles and suns.

New to the board and just wanted to say hello. FF runs behind my In Laws house and there is some decent fish in it, but nothing to holler about,at least where I go. There are some big gogle eyes in there.
