Its that time again and since LL is now almost full there should be a good run this year up to the Ray Bob tail race. This will be a good thread to post all things pertaining to the run all through the Greenbelt corridor. More rain to bring LL up to pool will certainly help so lets all pray we get some. I am going to have rod in hand for the first time this year on Tuesday (1/31) and plan on keeping everyone informed, as I plan on fishing the Greenbelt at least once a week until the run is over. Good luck this year and I hope to meet some anglers on the river.
Support our troops!

The Greenbelt corridor is one of my first creeks that I fished when I move hear a year ago. I to will be hitting it at least once a week. But this year I plan on using a boat. This is a photo from last weeks rain.

Fishing the Elm Fork between Ray Roberts and Lake Lewisville is best when LL is above pool and when they are releasing a lot of water from Ray Roberts from what I've seen. Even then it can be sort of a hit or miss event. Usually I can more consistently catch sandbass from the lake. However the Elm Fork can be really great if you hit a dense school of sandbass and/or hybrids. It is so much fun catching those fish in shallow water with a current because they fight so hard.

Last spring I was catching sand bass at this ramp not real big 11in to 13 and some hybrids and gar to. Not sure as to Elm fork not fished it is it in off of 380?

Once the run starts you can catch sandbass with every cast in this creek. Best spots are dropoffs near a bend in the creek. They stack up below these dropoffs, facing upstream. The further you paddle away from the ramp and the "Bend" where everyone gathers, the better off the fishing is. Don't waste your time here in the summer though...gar/carp city.

Can you launch a jon boat from this ramp? When the water is down its a steep ramp but I have seen sort jon boats launch from it. I would say if you can pick it up on one end then your in if you have a motor on it you may have to take it off and put it on at the bank. Some time this week I will get more photos of the ramp if the water is down.

Thanks. I may just see if I can run up there from the lake. I appreciate the information and the offer of additional photos.

One thing about the mouth of the Elm Fork going into LL is that there are usually big log jams. Here is a pic from 2005. Not to say you cannot navigate around them but just wanted to mention.
