Thread: Spring Creek Wheeler

Went to Bear Creek yesterday. Water was dingy color. Trolled hard from 7:00am to 3:30 pm for six keeper fish. Most were in 12 to 14 ft. water. The cold fronts and rain have scattered the fish. Tried some 6 to 8 water and deeper water with no luck. Only had 2 large females with eggs. Were not bloody so i don't think they have moved up shallow yet. Maybe better by the weekend.

I'm hoping for better! Did not make my first trip down there till April 30 last year. I fished that day plus 3 others over a two week period and had 188 total. Most people had already given up on it and the fish were just then making their big push. Hope for same results this year!

When y'all go to Bear Creek, do you put in at Buzzards Roost or go up to the TVA park?
