You got that right! The creek is super low. On the other hand even though I’ve only caught one fish so far I have found two nice in-line spinners, so I’ll call the day a success even though I’m not finished yet!

I’m going to start bringing a yard bag to pick up trash. Maybe it will catch on. It’s such a trashed out place. I don’t understand a culture that thinks it’s okay to leave every single piece of trash on the creek bank.
You ain’t gonna catch any sittin’ on the couch.

That’s a great idea. Today I went to the bike park and at least there are trash cans there to toss bags into. Some areas would be more difficult, especially if you had large bags! Oh and fish-wise I only pulled two dinks. I heard some guy caught a limit but I suspect that’s the same story as ‘you should have been here yesterday’…

Today is the full moon. I can’t believe we didn’t get the rain like weatherman said. Economists and weathermen can be wrong 100% of the time and still keep a job…

I’ve gone out several times over the last few weeks, the last being Tuesday afternoon. So far I would say way less than desired results, lol! I’ve only caught a few each trip but I have seen people catch as many as six, and then there are always the people saying ‘you should’ve been here yesterday!’, lol… they ALWAYS say that! The good part about being early on the run is that the creek is not terribly crowded. The bad part I would say for me is that I remember that creek back in the 90s when I used to fish it a lot, and yes there was trash back then, but absolutely nothing compared to what it’s like now! I’ve literally seen guys down there drinking beer and just get up and leave the bottles, the trash, everything and walk to a different place. One time I asked someone about that and I was stunned when he told me that he thought someone had a job to come down there and clean everything up. let’s just say he ‘wasn’t from around here’. I told him that was not the case but he didn’t go back and clean up his stuff. Anyway I’m probably lucky I didn’t get into a fight I guess…which was the reason I quit going down there in the late 90s. At any rate, it’s Thursday morning about 9 AM and I don’t have a job until two, and the one that I have is very close to the creek, so I’m considering going down there and trying it out again. I suspect once the temperatures get good enough where I feel like taking my kayak out I will quit going down there in favor of other places (Texoma), and that’s when they will be running, lol…  This may come off as sounding bad but I just can't get myself to spend the limited time I have to fish picking up everyone else's trash. My hat is off to those that do clean up the trash. The trash just gets worse and worse. I stay away from Rowlett creek because of the crowds and trash. There are just so many other creeks with no trash, people and fish that are not pressured everyday and hungry.

I went for a couple hours late this afternoon. Did not get rain here in Rowlett but they did upstream and the current was much more swift and super muddy by Rowlett Creek standards. Fishing was pretty sloooow.
On a side note I did run into the Game Warden twice (Mr. Alverez). Really nice guy. In the 30 years I have fished this particular spot of the creek I have never seen a GW there so I was pretty surprised to see him today. I can tell you he is for sure not a lazy GW! LOL!! I asked him where he parked and I can tell you he had been walking for miles! Really good to see them out there this year trying to suppress all the illegal activities that have plagued that creek for years.

I usually fish until dark. It doesn't cut down on my fishing time to pick up trash on the way out. Yeah, it sucks to pick up other people's trash but I see it as preserving the areas for my kid's generation and the generation after. It is definitely contagious! I don't remember the spot, but saw a man and his son leaving one day. After he noticed me bagging stuff, he started doing the same.

I think that last rain should put fish every where.
Even in the chalky cloudy creek yesterday fish were coming out .
As the water clears up the the fishing should be better and better every day!
it seems every fish is a hybrid until its landed.
see also is it a hybrid / I think its a hybrid

Me and my pop went this morning castle drive and centerville (a friend told me about) been out of the game for 12 years go east on castle drive to a dead up follow the creek past the brown pipes and then keep going about 5-10 minutes you'll see a white pip sticking out the grass on the right then go down the left side of the creek (becareful i fell because it was slippery because of the major rain we got early the week) Pop was able to catch a 20inch stripe bass but then people came later and caught some more about 3-4 stripe bass. i had a crappy pole but i think i got lucky. gonna try tomorrow again with a better pole bought at academy.
I don't know why some people are so stingy with teling you their spots. I love to share and always root want people to catch more fish than me. this is a brotherhood thing and if everyone catches fish we all win. I can't complain since i was able to get one and gonna pan fry that stripper and it's gonna be oh so very good.
Any recommendations on a good line? I bought the combo kit (rod and reel) at academy shimano symetre 7 ft. $100 minus $15 bucks for academy card. and also casking combo kit for my pop. I hope we get lucky and catch 1 or 2 more tomorrow am.
Happy Fishing yall.

Tried to go fishing yesterday. Creek was full, fast and grey like it rain fro three days straight, not just for a few hours.
looked like the water was up 2-3 feet.
caught 4 leaves on 5 casts then left.
Banks were covered with a 1/4 inch of slimy creek mud.
Hopefull it will be fishable by Saturday.
