Turtle creek

How was the fishing on turtle creek this weekend ? Did they stock good numbers of fish? Are the spead out through the creek or are they just in the deep holes?

That's funny, the same thing happened to me last year in the same area. They were nested on the island, my buddy went to the right I went to the left and one of them shot out and would've hit me if I didn't dodge him. A 4wt is no match for a p!ssed off goose.

Pics or it didn't happen

i was there for the stocking. yea they put alot of fish in and yea they spread out. that stream gets hit hard by the meat hounds, many kids leaving with stringers full. its a good spot close to home but the fishing is only good for the first couple weeks.

I caught a pair of rainbows and somehow a nice brookie

I always walk upstream from the saunders station pull off, or downstream from the abers creek skatepark. Only seen one other dude there and that was on Sunday.

Also thats the 2nd Brook trout ive got out of there in 2 years

Are you saying theyre PFBC mistakes or some1 else is putting them in?

Ahh i see

Why dont you try it then Zelie...I tried a nice stick and a rock....made it much worse...these creatures are fearless and full grown and heavy....and manic when nest is near!!!! Quote from one of MANY warnings:
 
"Goose attacks on humans have caused serious physical injury, such as broken bones, head injuries, and emotional distress, many occurring when the person tried to avoid an attack and tripped. When fed by people, geese lose their natural fear which often leads to more violent attacks during the spring nesting season, because they will begin nesting closer to areas that people frequent.If the goose approaches you aggressively, hissing or spreading its wings, you should slowly back away watching carefully for obstacles you could trip over. DO NOT, EVER yell, kick, or act hostile in any way. At the same time, never cower, hide your face, turn your back, or run. Over aggression may cause the female to join in, creating an even more aggressive attack from the male. If one flies up towards your face, then duck or move away at a 90 degree angle to the direction of flight, but be sure to keep facing the attacking goose.".....

DNJ500  Dennis, I think that you would run afoul(pun intended) of the law if you harmed those geese espec. if you knew they were there. Seems like a can of pepper spray is in order.  sam

I have emotional distress from a goose attack!  Called off work all week.

Goose blasted out of the bush at me, no time to do anything but duck.  Still went by the nest and again on the return trip (he gave me an earful the second time around).  I see no reason to kill it. 
 
Caught a tiger there last week.  Caught 5 trout during the last two days of Feb this year, all on a muddy buddy.
 

I was wondering the same thing bandit, there are some deep holes if you wonder around enough but those cricks sure do get hot in the summer. Maybe they stocked early this year! 

Can't personally vouch for Turtle Crick, but there is a creek/drainage ditch near me that gets two spring stockings where trout can be caught well into the winter months in deeper holes under bridges and in shady spots.  

Fished there today from 4 to 5 pm. Nothing. Saw two swimming within 10 ft of me though so I know they're still in there. Picked up 6 in 2 1/2 hrs in the same spot two weeks ago. Water seemed a little low today. Looked nice actually. 

Hahahahathey where all over him I know this cause I was walking behind him laughing my****off but seriously they are mean bastards
