i have fished some areas of houston creek as well from the paris pike area out of what is now houston oaks golf course around to the bypass bridge by the food lion grocery store. I have caught a few decent fish out of that stretch of water but it is a pain to navigate and many areas have a low canopy of trees that make it hard to cast at times. I wouldn't bother to fish in toward town any further as it goes through some not so great parts of town and the banks really just turn to mud and no good structure. i honestly don't think that creek is worth the time and effort it takes unless you just wanna say that you have done it. i would definately rather fish some other areas.
