    That's why I like Creek Fishing Adventures - John keeps it real! lot of CZcamsrs wouldn't include the first mile of fishing - the lack of fish and rough terrain - but John keeps it real! That's the way fishing is. The tough days make you appreciate the good, productive ones. Your perseverance paid off - in the end catching several nice ones. Thanks for sharing and God bless!

    Holey moley! That is an obstacle course and a half. I was not expecting to see you going tree-climbing, John. Lol! So many downed trees. Must have been a tornado or two in that area at some point. I'd be scared of snakes climbing in all those branches in the water after that one trip where you saw 4 of them in that one tree. At least the water still looks mostly nice and clear. You found where the fish are, though! Great job, man! As always, I enjoyed watching!

    You definitely go the extra mile to catch fish. That's why I enjoy your channel. At my age, I probably wouldn't venture through all of that, but I enjoy watching others do it. I'm stuck in central Ga for 2 more years and then I will be back in Tenn to fully retire. I'm buying a nice kayak and enjoy the fishing. I'll be in middle Tenn so I will have lots of options. Keep up the great work John.

    John, good work. I agree w Pensnut08. Since water is cold, O2 should be good. I've seen the same on trout streams...mink do a job.
    Plus, your observation about the dam preventing fish movement is a good guess. I suspect it will recover. SM are hardy and tend to propagate fairly well. I came for fishing and got Eiger Sanction.😎

    Last Wednesday evening after work I decided to fish a creek I've been near every day for at least 55 years of my 56 I've been alive. I've always wondered if it held fish. An hour later, 20 fish landed! I had to go micro-light to get them, 1lb mono, 1/80oz Mule jigs and 1.2" Mule minnows. The reel was a vintage Daiwa 500c on a Okuma Celia 5.5' rod. Mostly just diinker rock bass(we call them Redeye Bass up here in the Blue Ridge Mountains) and some hand sized gills
    A tight line is a tight line! I've been smiling ever since! This creek is walking distance from my house 😊
