I've hit the creek near my house twice so far this year. Both times the water was way up, moving pretty fast, and really muddy. I tried both black and bright orange jigs but got skunked both times. You would think with the warmer weather we've had this winter the chances of hooking into some winter smallies would be better. I'll be back at it in the next couple days to try again. Hopefully the water conditions will be a little more in my favor next time. I'll let you know how I do.
