It's only been two weeks since I was up there for my very first time. I need to get on google earth and brush up on those creeks up by Derby. You have a nice area up there. Beautify country and I loved all the cabins and the view of the river from Derby, IN.
I won't be able to get up there very often if at all. So it was nice to just see it for the first time. Your lucky to have such nice creeks to fish in. We have Pigeon Creek here and it's full of sewer rats. That's turds for the uninformed and there is no way I'd fish out of Pigeon Creek. Years ago I took my then brand new bass boat up the mouth of the creek for a short ways and was disgusted in what I found on the bottom of the creek mouth when I tried to test the Dissolved Oxygen Content there. My YSI DO meter was destroyed when I let it touch the bottom and the Silver and Gold metal in the probe was contaminated by the black goo that lies on the bottom of that creek. Black Goo is raw sewage that's settled down on the bottom of the creek at the mouth of the creek near the Ohio River. There's all kinds of Heavy Metals there as they are dumped into the local sewers by our local industry.
The only fish swimming up that creek are trash fish that can survive low dissolved oxygen levels and stagnate waters.
The Creeks on the KY side of the OHIO River up by Derby and down to Tell City are good looking creeks as well. But I don't plan on fishing them as that would require more money to buy a KY fishing License.
How the fishing at Derby's Oil Creek in the Fall of the year for Crappie?
I'd have to hire a guide if I went up there. Know anyone that knows the creek well enough to guide people onto the fish? Crappie is my target if I were to go up there again.
Still working on my computer as I seem to have a memory leak somewhere. I'll have to work on that a bit and get that fixed and then post more pictures on here from the trip.
