are these being caught in the creeks or lake? I am going to try to get out this evening...

Went out from meadowmere. Lake choppy. Ran up Marshall Creek. Water muddy muddy muddy. No activity, not even a sniff. Try Denton Creek one evening this week and will report.

how far up creek could you go? were you able to get your boat past the bridge?

Way up Denton Creek. Look for some clear water and fish on the bottom. The slower the better.

I went a mile maybe two up the creek. It was getting dark so I had to turn back. I didnt even see the bridge. If you go back there, on one of the first turns of the creek there is a pipe just under the surface of the water. It is in a narrow part of the channel on a hairpin curve.

How far is way up? Are you talking about past 377? I just want to allow enough time to get where I need to go.

If you saw a pipe just under the water I would think you were in Marshall Creek and not Denton Creek. You need to go past 377 on Denton Creek. When it shallow way up and you have a deep hole right after you barely made it thru the shallow then start fishing. I think if you launch in the creek you will at least be on the right track. With the traffic on the creek right now you should be able to follow a boat all the way up the creek.

yes that is right. i was in marshall creek. I wanted to know how far up Denton that I need to go to get on the fish. One more question:

How long would you say it takes to get past 377 when launching in the creek off trophy club?

5-10 minutes if you are running 20-25 mph. Then about the same to get to Henrietta Creek. Normally with slowing down for boats and bank fisherman it is a 30-45 minute trip up the creek.

We went yesterday; I'd say the river has dropped at least 2 feet since Friday morning. Almost didn�t clear the last sandbar before Henrietta hole. I don�t think big ski boats can make it anymore. I think all the boats in hole were aluminum flat bottoms. Mine is a 15ft aluminum modified V hull and we pack light. We caught a few sandies, it�s still pretty muddy. Be careful there was lots of stuff floating down the river; I saw two whole trees and lots of logs.

Thanks for all the great info. I will be going out this evening or tomorrow. Where is Henrietta creek/hole?

Henrietta creek is at a T in the creek. You cannot miss it. Like running into a wall with a creek to the left and right.

Thanks again!!!!

I had my 21.5 Ranger in there yesterday. Most areas are Ok but write before the henrietta denton creek merge there is some very shallow water. I dont think my boat would have made it if it was 1 foot lower maybe not even 6 inches lower. look for the small gravel washouts. When u find that. There is a small funnel of creek attached. Throw until your arm falls off thats where the fish are. I dont think I will be back in there this year. We limited out and got out of there. Lots of submerged objects and lots of current pushing things.

how bad is the wind up in the river
