Denton Creek

Anyone fishing Denton Creek that feeds Lake Grapevine yet??

Reports please!!!


Carry on... Sniper

I guess 225 people thought YOU were posting a report haha. Myself included

I stopped and fished part of it last week for about two hours. I only caught two small crappie with a jig and slip, and one sandy. The water was still on the muddy side at the time. I didn’t have enough daylight to walk very far.

Anybody know what the water clarity/level looks like now?

I’ve been looking for a report too haha. I guess we just gotta get out and fish. Anybody ever came in from 35W? I see vehicles there from time to time. It looks a little sketchy to get down there but it looks like it can be done. If anybody needs a fishing buddy let me know.

Should be getting busy there soon..... cant wait!!!
Love fishing that creek... (when I'm NOT falling in the water)
Those steep banks can be crazy slippery!!!

About 3 -4 weeks and things will get started.

Yes you can catch a few now, mostly crappie, but I've been going to D-Creek in the spring since 1973 and it' still too early IMHO.

Caught my limit on Monday and Tuesday in about 1 1/2hrs on both days..Using a chrome and blue 3/8oz rattle trap..All sandies were male and females...The water is up....Good luck....

Were you fishing near Old Alton bridge? Or closer to the main lake body?

The Old Alton Bridge is in Denton but on Hickory Creek feeding Lewisville Lake, the Denton Creek feeds Grapevine, so which creek were the fish caught on Mon/Tue ?

Oh, right. I was thinking of the wrong creek. Sorry for the confusion.

All were caught under 377 bridge .................

Nice mess of them, starting the journey, a mile or two to the shallows.

Good luck and thanks for the info.

I'm planing to go tomorrow, does anyone know where @K@ caught his fish at? 377 looking at google map there quite a few .. thanks!

Getting close to being ripe, drove across 377 bridge and Henrietta off 114 on Friday, both had good flow and not muddy.

Just be careful if you are walking the banks it's one wrong step and you'll slide in.
Believe me, been there, done that and it's not easy to get out.

Absolutely. I took a good slide last weekend lol. Not my first one there either. Luckily there was a bit of an edge at the bottom and I stayed dry.

It's time to go now, they should be ready and good fishing thru April.

Would like to hear of any reports, I'd be there today but heading out for trip.

I'll be giving it a shot this afternoon.

Keep us up to date, there is a thread going in the White Bass forum as well about Denton Creek. I went to the bridge off 377 yesterday after work and didn't have any luck. There was a couple there fishing as well and I didn't see them catch anything either.
May hit it up after work again, wife permitting of course.

The water is still too cold. Need a warm rain and they will be in there

Not exactly DC, but we were out on the main lake yesterday afternoon. Ran into a lot of sandies and a bonus crappie suspending at 20-30' in 35-38fow, off of where twin coves empties into the lake. We brought home 18 for the skillet.
Given the depth, location and how thick they were (we didn't move the boat in 2-3 hours, the action was that good), I'd guess that they were staging.

Think it's still 2+ weeks out until it gets going

I'm no expert, but it does seem like g-vine turns on later than other lakes. Then again, maybe folks don't post until two weeks after their big haul

Had to go out again this evening. They were still there and hungry as ever.

Went under the 377 bridge a few days ago, they were there, wasnt fast n furious but i caught a few and going back tomorrow

Can anyone give me directions from the azle
area? I'm new to this area?
