I doubt it. I've never caught much during rain or even hours after. Seems like it spooks the fish a little and they need awhile to adjust.

Now just hours before rain and if it's just barely started sprinkling ahead of real rain, is a totally different story. Seems like every fish is biting all they can to get food before going dormant.

Edit: except catfish, they don't seem to care too much about anything and will always bite anytime.

Rowlett Creek Water Data USGS

The creek has jumped up 8ft so far.

If you are catfishing cut baite are good after a good rain

I don't think the fishing will be all that good until next week. I wouldn't bother but that's just me.

So does that mean the waterline on the banks is actually 8ft higher than it was, or is that like a median spread and it's probably only rose a total of 3-4 ft?

8' higher

It means the water where the gauge is (Hwy 78 in Sachse near the mall) is 8ft higher than it was.

Wow, that's crazy. But so is the weather since it's so bright and sunny right now. Stupid weathermen.

Under Pleasant Valley by the gun range. There was only a 1 ft waterdrop under here Sunday.


Northwest of Pleasant Valley overpass. There are 2 sandbars underneith there somewhere that we were standing on. Big sandbars, like 15 ft x 30 ft long...

That probably won't stop some from trying

That looks more than 8 foot high. That looks more like 12 or 14.

It peaked past 16' high.

i'm happy with that! because my guest[sandbass-hybird-cat fish-more...]will come to visit us!!!!!we need ready for them to come by rc!!!!

Get ur waders and stilts boys!

Ok, I was thinking about trying the creek tomorrow or Thursday. I've NEVER had any luck ever on RC. I've been reading quite a bit about the lures to use (blue fox, roadrunners, swim baits, etc), but I'm not sure where I should try to fish. I've seen places like pleasant valley mentioned, is that the best place to try. I really want to get out there with you guys. Tips??
