Status: offline 		I hesitantly went down around 10 on opening day after getting some chores done at home...

and saw beer bottles and bobbers and deep sea rods and a few families actually enjoying themselves and i then thought to myself...

what the f*ck am i doing here...  if my wife wasn't so pregnant and ready to pop i could've gone to the mountains for some real streams...

anyways still landed 4 stocked trout and a smallie in about an hour and then left to do something productive...

went down again sunday morning though and was able to fish the holes i wanted and the smaller crowd didn't show up till aroun 9:30 - 10...  creek was slower fishing wise that i thought but i did stay up along the walking path all morning...

Status: offline 		landed 5 in 2 hours saturday right before dark.  the earlier crowds left a path of destruction at the bigger holes i stoppped off at.  i hate when i find pieces of branches stuck in the mud along the banks used by the meat hunters to prop up their rods so they can BS with their buddy about deer season while a little trout takes a month to get the whole night crawler down before the guy realizes to set the hook, which by that time the hook is throat deep in the little stocked trout...  every time i see those i pull them out and chuck them into the woods.  (the Y shaped branch parts)  that's carp style fishing, not trout fishing, with 2 ounces of weight, 40 pound test and a half pound of night crawler.  atleast those types wont fish more than a few weeks.  also saw a ton of line in trees, bobbers in trees the size of tennis balls, the usual night crawler containers, etc.  my rant is over.

Status: offline 		wow, ive never actually seen anyone complain about the Y-branches people prop up rods with. 
I don't think there's anything wrong with using a little twig to sit your rod on-IF you are planning on keeping the fish. 
If you aren't, then it might be better to hold the rod so the fish doesn't get gut-hooked.

Status: offline 		Fished it on Saturday from like 1-4 or so, laned 6 on panther martins and pin minnows.  Fished it Sunday morning around 7:30-11.  Landed another 6.  Sledding was much harder on Sunday, had to slow down the presentation and the fish were all deep.  All fish, save one, were caught on white sucker spawn.  dropped a few as well.  Had to work for them though, sometimes 20 drifts before a hit.
