Heavy rain and Creeks

With the heavy rain the last few day, and the running creeks, Do catfish move into the creeks as long as it flows?
Or do they tend to stay in the lake at the mouth of the creeks?

I got the same question. I was thinking about hitting some spots on Fork where the creeks drain into the lake.

they certainly do! can't wait til Saturday!

They move upstream this time of year. To feed and to stage pre-spawn.

They will find that moving water and set up to feed. They should stack up at the mouth and move on up the creek. Fresh moving water will bring in all types of fresh food for all fish. From bait fish to the big boys. Plan on hitting the lake myself Sat. Set some juglines and then go rod and reel to my honey hole for fresh moving water.

Hope the weather isn't too bad here Saturday!!

I'll be on the flats right off of the creek channel in that chocolate milk water right where the current pushes out onto the flat come Sunday. I dread the 1 hour boat ride just to get back there past all the trees and stumps.

You'd be surprised how far catfish run up the creeks..... I've caught them miles from the lake Don't be afraid to try grab some shad and get after it...

the big question is where when and how, tha will make you the best catman in your area. all these boys are telling the normal ways to catch, but as you learn jot all this down, with a boat or not you will cathe if you want to brag on it, that's your business, well lets get on with it ill feed you some good info, my first teacher was a man with 14 kids , hes probly gone now I'm 70 years old when it rains if you can take of work , get a good rain coat night crawelers for a tickler whit shad 3 or 4 inches long I'm sure you have a castnet and can throw it and I'm sure your around lakes in your area look for any culverts , creeks flowing into the lakes any thing with 3 or ft wide people will think your strange ti[[ you show them your stringer ive caught blues from 3 lbs to 20 I hope you eat your cathe damit I cant spell right if you pm me I tell you about cathing 80 or 90 lb blues using babby ducks on your throw lines I haven't killed a duck in 40 years right now its time to fish go son pm me if you want stories about the rivers the bernard river a hard to fish deal,the brazos, Colorado all the little water sheds guadaloupe I don't like it to much bad stuff coming down, how about jerking 50 lb cats that wont bite not illegal one hook set up thanks for the read I give more later

you know how to fish son good luck

I tell you this all you need is some fresh dug worms when the creek is flooded! Enough said..! Try it and let me know?!

You need to be fishing in the creeks, current flow edges...I've caught catfish from the mouth of a creek, all the way up a creek...Yes, the fish will be there in this type of water event...now go forth and conquer...Just throw your rig out into the current and let it sit where it stops...take note of that spot and try to pitch to it afterwards. If a spot doesn't produce in 10 minutes, move to another, until you find one that works...

Try fishing creeks/rivers at the top end of the lake first....Or get behind a lake damn that is releasing water...
