not trying to be funny here but, the hole's in elk & walnut and all creek's change every year. so it would be difficult to make a map with out up dateing it from storm to storm. trust me i walk upper elk many times a year in july and after heavy rain fall. ive seen nice honey holes washed compleatly away just after 1 strong storm. it has happened this year allready . boy are some guy's going to be upset there was a real nice one on uper elk that held ton's of fish in the past but this year maybe you'll see a a passing fish there .

bottom line the creek's change so much and so fast for a map to be accrate.

hope this help's
dave

dave, thanks for the info. i really wasn't looking for a topo type map as much as i was looking to find a map with the names of the different holes indicated (i.e. manchester, stop sign, etc.). not even sure if one would exist. at the one-fly, i heard everyone talking about the different holes. i have only fished elk once (i am from ohiyer). thanks for the help, though.

rapala11 When I get a chance I will try to send you an email with directions to some of those places. Basically as Powerun said, the holes do change quite a bit, but the areas where you can fish don't generally change much. In the mean time on the FishUSA site they have angler's maps that give you a pretty good idea of where you can park. That should get you going in the right direction. Park and do a little walking. Right now with the low and clear conditions, it would be a good time to get an idea of what the various sections of the creeks are like, i.e. gravel bottom, shale bottom, deep runs, shallow runs, riffles, pools, etc... Take a little notebook with you and scribble down some notes. Key in on landmarks like waterfalls, log piles, big rocks, etc... something that will be above water when the creeks get back to a more normal flow. That way when you come up and the water level is higher, you have some idea of what is in front of you. Nothing quite like walking off a ledge into a deep hole in the middle of December.... Kinda would ruin your day.

You'll just get frustrated and lost and throw them in the brush. Did you try that little trick to fix your cork?

swinger, not yet. skip gave me some cork dust to mix in. figure by wednesday or thursday i will be on my feet enough to play with it. thanks again for the help.

as for the brush, i used to stash a few dozen decoys there (the pt. south of the campgrounds) instead of lugging them back and forth. did this for years. seems like over the years, i was always stashing something in the brush. too old now, i think i would forget where and what

when i die, my wife is to throw my ashes in the brush, so watch where you step.........
