I think it would be a little difficult to launch from the bicycle area off 377, the trail is primitive and pretty steep starting out. Trophy Club Park or the Marshall Creek Boat ramp would be my suggestion.

You cant fish just any creek for white, you will need to fish a primary feeder creek to a reservoir. They will move up the creek for the spawn. You will catch them anywhere from the mouth all the way up to an obstruction (spillway, shallow rapids, brush, etc).... it really depends upon where they are in the spawning cycle. Primary is a very loose word in this context. It doesnt take much to hold sandies in the spring, any creek with water year round and current year round that flows in to a lake will hold sandies. A lot of my top creeks every year are only about 5-6 wide at some points and maybe 3-4 deep at max.

Well, I put in at Trophy Club and fished all afternoon. It was surprisingly busy for a weekday (main parking lot was full and several in the overflow parking). Several kayaks, jon boats and bankers and a few bass boats running wide open  I was skunked and so was everyone else... all afternoon I didn't see or hear of one fish! The water temperature was mostly 49 to 51. I found one section at 54 and saw what appeared to be a scattered suspended fish and a small bait ball. I fished that area fast, slow, deep, shallow, drifted, road runner, jig and small crank bait. Nothing! It was still a great trip... The weather was perfect and it was good to get back on the water. Another week or so of warm weather and it should be on

No luck today, but due to our mad fishing skills, managed to boat 4 sandies. Two males, 2 females, looked like they were all ready to pop. One thing they had in common, empty stomachs. They were definitely there, but definitely not biting. The water is remarkably clear. the creek needs about 5 more feet of depth if I'm gonna get from trophy club to henrietta. Had to pull up short by, I dunno, couple miles at least.
Hopefully a couple days of rain will help. I'll probly be out there one day next week, if ya see an ancient blue boat with an old guy in it, stop & say hello.

My son and I were on the lake late afternoon to sunset. We kept 18 including a bonus fat crappie. The best catching seemed to be on minnows. However, I kept up with an all-white curly-tail 1/8oz. roadrunner. We used the deadstick technique. The fish were suspended 20-30' in 35 fow. We were a fair distance off of the mouth of twin coves, in the main lake. They were still biting after dark. Getting the depth right was critical for getting bites. Having a ten-foot range helped a lot.

At knobs Hill bike trail, but it's a pretty good walk to the creek, you could launch at the bridge. It's a little less than 1/4 mile from the parking area at Knobs Hill.

I went last year at the bike trails. Didn't catch anything but I was late in the run. So if your on foot where do you fish at and wat do you use? I would really like to catch something for once. Lol
