Then there's the under water pipe on the right side of the hydro's,Wave rock, lock discharge area, two rock islands that can be just underwater, Sunk barge ,sunk truck and on and on. It is truly a very unique fishing area that is just as dangerous.I'm down there ussually every Fri. and would be glad to show you around. Just PM me when the water get's down and we'll go from there. I hope this helps, Good luck up at 14 mile.Chuck

Chuck, I will most likely be in contact with you. I'd love to get the ins and outs of the place from someone who knows it well. Thanks for the help, everyone. By the way, 14 mile creek was uneventful, but truth be known, I really just wanted to get the boat in the water and try out the new fish finder. Can't wait until it really warms up.
