Comments: I'VE BEEN FISHIN THE B.E. CREEK FOR OVER 20 YRS. YOU ARE HARD PRESSED TO BEAT THE B. E. FOR TROUT ACTION IN THIS STATE. BUT, IF IT'S A BIG FISH YOU WANT OUT OF IT, THERE ARE ONLY (3) LEGIT WAYS I KNOW TO GET ONE.
I.) FISH THE HEX. (IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING:LITERALLY) . IN JUNE (LATE IN THE MONTH: USUALLY), JULY(ALMOST ALL MONTH). FISH IN THE SHALLOWS ABOVE THE PARK STREET BRIDGE, ASMOUTH HOLE, OR AT COOPER'S HOLE(BEHIND URSO), THERE YOU CAN WATCH THE FISH RISE AND PICK THE ONES YOU WANT, IT IS THE WAY TO GO. I LEARNED THIS AT A VERY YOUNG AGE. IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IF U WANT A BIG ONE FLY FISHIN THIS IS THIS SIMPLE BEST TIP I CAN GIVE U.
BUT, SINCE IM NOT A FLY-FISHERMAN AT HEART. I HAVE SOME OTHER TIPS TO OFFER.
II.) FISH EARLY IN THE MORNING, OR LATE AT NIGHT, USING SPINNERS OR ANY SMALL LURES, ON SMALL SPINNING EQUIP. USE THEM IN THE FASTEST WATER YOU CAN FIND. (FLY-FISHERMEN:THIS EQUATES TO MUDDLERS, OR STREAMERS) I AM EMPHASIZING RAPIDS, CULVERTS, AND ANY RAPID THAT A DEEP LITTLE POCKET FOLLOWS.
III.) THIS IS THE BIGGEST TIP(3-PT) I CAN GIVE. AND TO THIS DATE. MOST PEOPLE DON'T BUY IT. BUT, IT'S TRUE, I SWEAR. GO FISHING NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1. WAIT FOR A BIG RAIN-FALL WHERE THE CREEK WATER GETS TO BE BROWN. 2. LOOK FOR THE FASTEST WATER (RAPIDS) YOU CAN FIND. 3. DO EITHER OF TWO THINGS A) CAST STRAIGHT ACROSS THE REALLY FAST BRN WATER AND LET THE CURRENT DO HALF THE WORK FOR YOU. OR B) CAST STRAIGHT DOWN STREAM AND LET THE CURRENT DO ALL THE WORK FOR YOU.
FINAL THOUGHT: THE MOST PRODUCTIVE LURE IVE EVER USED ON THE BLACK EARTH CREEK, (MY STOMPING GROUND) IS THE #5P RAPALA (FLOATING).
IF I SEE U OUT THERE USING IT I KNOW U READ THIS. GOOD LUCK.
IF ANYONE WANTS TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE B.E. IVE LIVED ON IT MY WHOLE LIFE, BUT MY GRAND PA HAS LIVED ON IT FOR 45 YRS BEFORE I WAS EVEN BORN SO I MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP YA.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL, AND STAY AWAY FROM THE 26" I HOOKED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.
