This creek runs just below my house. My papaw swears he saw somone walking away from it around exit 412 with a stringer full of nice sized fish. I fished upstream quite a ways where it is much smaller and caught a few bluegills. Also I don't think this is too far fetched that their is some good fish in it. There are three ponds upstream of it where I know there were fish. One was a trout farm that washed out a few times. Another was a set of a few ponds where their was a lot of catfish in. The last was a pond below my house. When I was a kid a guy drained a pond with Smallmouth, Largemouth, Catfish, and Bluegill in it and a few people were their when he drained it and went in after the fish and moved them to this pond. So seeing as how all these ponds washed out it seems my papaw might be in to something. Has anyone attempted to fish this creek or hear any stories like my papaws?
