Me and a couple of budddies have been fishing Clear Creek WMA in West Hopkins County and been catching a lot of Bluegill, Crappie, Spotted bass and Largemouth. We have even got into some decent Rockfish in the ten to fifteen pound range on larger sized Rapala Floating Minnows and Rattlin Rogues. There are some nice quality size fish of all species in this creek and its definitely worth making a trip down to Hopkins County and getting in on it...you definitely wont be sorry you made the drive down. Even if you happen to come on a slow day the view alone is more than enough to make up for a slow bite.
We did our best on Largemouth and Spots by putting in at the Highway 109 Bridge and fishing the grass and thick stuff on down to the Highway 293 Bridge.
From the Highway 293 Bridge on down to where the creek empties into the Tradewater River weve been doing real good on the Crappie and Bluegill and we have been getting into the Rockfish and Hybrid Stripes from the mouth of the creek well on upstream past the last of the largest of the stump fields. We talked to a young guy maybe in his late teens who was running jugs and several days in a row there he had some darn nice flat heads maybe weighing ten pounds or a little more on his stringer. We traded him some crappie for a few of his cats and they were pretty good eating.
