When the season opens in July I want to set some turtle lines out. Would it be worth while to set any in French creek?

Snapping turtles are everywhere. You find them when you least expect it. Walleye fishing, in the middle of the road while going fishing...etc you find a deep hole ie. A beaver dam you'll find snappers. As for french creek i dont but i woulf assume.

look for slower backwater type holes , ive always seen more leather backs in the creek personally 

ive seen a ton of big soft shell turtles this yr there pretty cool looking

The upper end of Frech Creek used to be the ultimate destination for snappers when we used to catch them by hand.Look for slow moving water with a mud bottom,also where there are undercut banks for them to hide in. Try to conceal the lines so that no-one sees them or the lines will disappear.

I've seen a lot of turtles sunning themselves on the banks of French Creek below Utica but only a couple of the snapping variety, each time those were on the road going to or from the creek to a nearby pond.
