Has anyone had any luck yet up in Hickory Creek ?

I fished over there with a buddy last sautrday afternoon around the Old Alton rd bridge. We did not do any good. Talked to a guy there who said he caugt two limits from his jon boat the week previous. It should looked fishy down there...it was our first time.

Sometime them little boats are better than them $50K boats...huh ?

Where is the hickory creek area I hear about? Dont really know that area very well. I assume its in teh 377/denton creek vacinity some what? Am I way off base?

Thanks for the help, look forward to meeting some guys out there the next few weeks as the weather/old lady permits!

I fished there today from the canoe... I paddled up as far as I could, but I only caught one big sandbass.. I was on more of an exploratory trip than anything, and if had taken some minnows, I might've done better.. It didn't matter, because it was a great day, and I saw plenty of wildlife, IN DENTON.... Or pretty darn close anyway...
Much to my surprise, I saw 1 giant bodied deer,(couldn't see the rack), a colony of nesting blue herons, a colony of buzzards, about 70 squirrels, 2 wood ducks, 3 beavers, and a bunch of turtles...
It's makes me feel good to know that not every square inch in denton county is covered in concrete yet.

Oh yeah.. in a month or so, that creek will be full of hungry fish, and this year I'll get to catch them without busting my arse on a muddy bank or getting poison ivy... that's right.. Daddy's got a canoe ...If only I can keep from flipping it...

Hickory Creek surprised me too. I fished there all the time when I attended UNT and saw several deer. If there wasn't so much trash in a few places it would feel like you were really out of the urban area. The sand bass fishing was the best I had ever had on one occasion. That was way up from the bridge.
