Thanks Hunter498 for the reply! Yes Sir the creeks are very active right now and the Rios are in fall feeding mode down here! Side Note: Great time to catch a Trophy Rio!

Nice Rios Chuck. Been catching some myself. Seems these latest cool fronts have got them moving. What is your take? Also been catching them in shallow water. Will they start to go to deeper water as it gets colder?

Thanks Curtis for the reply! Rios are on the move trying to eat as much as they can before winter. After the first MAJOR cold front blows through the Rios for the most part will disappear until next spring! They will usually go to some deeper water and their movement is very minimal. They try to use as little energy as possible during the winter. If they are in creeks they usually find the deeper pockets of water to hunker down in! They keep their movement to a minimal during the winter months. If the winter is a super cold one that will usually kill a lot of Rios!

Creek fishing has really been good for you guys Chuck! Seems like Dunlap has not been all that productive this year. What is your take?
Side Note: Nice Post.

Thanks Gitter for the reply! Creeks have been in GREAT shape for the past two years due to the good rainfall we have been getting. Good water equals GOOD fish especially in creeks. As for Dunlap. Flooding,fast currents,and wake boaters really took a toll on the sunfish fishing! Just my two cents.

Thanks NTXBankFishing for the reply. Rios are a warm water/area fish. Rios can't survive in areas that have long cold winters! It is well worth the road trip to an area that has them!

Thanks for the information Chuck. Kind of figured flooding and wake boaters played a factor on the river lakes.

For what I have been hearing it looks like the recreational boaters are really picking up on all three of the river lakes. The area is getting more and more people which means more pressure on the recreational water ways! Hopefully they respect the resources.

Thanks Clayton for the reply! Rios are starting to get scattered after this last cold front. Gitter: Yes Sir you are right on the money!

These latest front coming in will really shut down the Rio bite a lot! Temperatures in the highs will be in the fifties and lows in the thirties by Friday!
