Had a good day fishing the Salado Creek. Fished from 8:30am till 1pm and the bite was very good. Caught numerous Bluegill in the 6 to 7 inch range,some super nice Redbreast in the 8 and 9 inch range,some nice Longear in the 5 to 6 inch range,and a couple of greens in the 7 inch range rounded out the catch. Saw several very nice Longnose Gar swimming in the deeper pockets. The creek is in excellent condition with good current. The water was stained. Lots of heavy debris on the banks so you need to be very careful. Both bottom and float techniques were used. Fish were in 3 to 5 feet of water holding by brush piles. Worms was the bait of choice and all fish were released to fight again!

Very nice looking creek, healthy looking fish too! Nice going, Banker

Thanks Rudy for the reply. Creeks and fish are in very good shape!

Looks like a great place to spend some time!

Salado definitely got healthy. The long dry spell really zonked out a few of the areas I would normally find Rios at.

Well is running by FSH again.

Thanks Andrew and "Drrouter" for the replies! "Drrouter": That is great news about the FSH well being back in operation. Hopefully the Rios will return!

Nice pics, that area looks very fishy.

I'd love to try some creek fishing. Keep giving those creek fish the business banker

Thanks "Astro77" and "Mitch_Ray" for the replies. The Salado is a super creek to fish. Lots of quality fish. With all of this fresh water that has fallen lately the creeks down here should be in pretty good shape for awhile.

That creek has always been a good fishing spot for you. Nice fish.




Side Note: Looks like you are going to have to wait awhile for the Salado to clear up. Lots of rain fell yesterday. Also have you seen any Rios on that creek? Have not seen a Rio posting on the Salado in awhile.

Thanks "Gitter" for the reply. I was hoping for a super year on the Salado this year. Hopefully things will get back to normal and the bite picks back up.

The inner city creeks have taken a beating this year will all of the rain and run off! Hopefully the best is yet to come.

The creeks should be getting back to normal. Creek fishing will be good the rest of the summer!

Nice fish. Always nice seeing those Salado reports. Have you fished the FT.Sam area since the well as been turned back on? Also have you spotted any Rios?

Thanks Curtis for the reply! I have fished the Ft. Sam Area once since the well has been back in operation and did pretty good. Caught plenty of nice Greens and some fat Bluegill. No Rios. I have not seen any Rios on the Salado this year or last year when it was just about dry.



Side Note: Have you heard of any Rio reports on the Salado?
