The creek has been low and clear for this time of year, but it has been fishing well. Smallmouth have been in various stages of spawning recently. In the 20 years I have fly fished this stream, this year is the healthiest I have seen for smallmouth. Population is good and the fish are brightly colored and lots of girth. The recently enacted slot limit should really improve things in the coming years.
