Arrived shortly after 9AM Sunday morning, and we were on the stream by 10AM. Only my second trip to the creek, but water levels seemed
a little lower than my previous trip. Fish were holding exceptionally tight to cover, and the only fish I landed was almost inside a root wad. The
fish was about nine inches long, and another fish I hooked and lost seemed just a tad smaller. My fishing partner caught one fish on a red and
white marabou jig. We fished upstream from the picnic area.
Thanks for continuing to help with reports, Mike! Mill Creek is definitely struggling, as are the other tiny wild trout streams
(Crane Creek, Barren Fork, etc.). The fish are still there, but they are bunched
up into very small areas of habitat. The upper reaches of several of the tiny creeks are darn near dry right now. If you can see the fish-holding spot without
getting too close, and if you can make the cast, there are still plenty of fish to be caught. Everyone needs to be praying for rain, though!
If you go to Mill Creek to do a bit of fishing, be sure to send us a
report about how you did. Click here if you would like more
