If you care about the creek please give the spawning fish some peace. Voluntary closure started 12/1. I stopped fishing the creek in early November after seeing that the fish were already in really dark spawning colors and podded up in the normal areas. Give the Yuba a try.

Does anybody know if the fire burned down to the creek?

I took my daughter to the creek on Sunday to fish and we are chatting on the way home about how nice it would be to live along there, but the fire risk was scary. Hope everyone gets out OK -- Edited by Bob Loblaw on Wednesday 1...

I spent some time out at the creek today. I didn’t catch anything but someone else obviously did. I found this one high up on the bank at the bottom of the staircase. It looked quite fresh judging by the color and that rigor mortis hadn't set in. I measured it at just under 18”. This is the second time t...

As I was walking up to # 4, I saw a bald eagle sitting in a tree across the creek. He looked at me and with two flaps of his wings was GONE! That really made my day. -- Edited by mudhen on Monday 18th of November 2019 05:48:03 AM
