Around 20 years ago a good friend of mine caught a 7+ pound LMB by casting directly at the face of that dam. It's still his biggest LMB and a real lunker for any creek. The lily pads along the pool at the top of that dam were always very productive.

Throughout the years I've been thrown off of that creek more so than any other I've ever fished. Another reason it fell from my graces. I actually got my very first violation at 16 years old (going back for another 7 pounder at that dam) by parking mom's car right along the scree slope off of the road. Tresspassing and parking violation all in one. I had to beg for the officer, who had been waiting for some time and who had finally resorted to sounding his siren to alert me to his presence, to please call the tow service he had radioed in and tell them not to come. Thankfully he did but only because it was mom's car. He still issued the tickets and scared the c**p out of me. I'll never forget standing knee deep in Harrods Creek, hearing that siren go off, knowing full well that indeed, I was actually standing in S**ts Creek. The walk of shame up the embankment was horrid then, hilarious now. I've fished there plenty since, but to this day I've never parked in that spot.

Ahh the formative years...
