I made it out to the creek Friday.  It rained most of the day, and I only saw two other fishermen.  I started out by the bridge and landed two fish, both about 12 inches.  Later, I moved down to #5 and fished the other side of the island.  I hooked a nice-sized fish in the fast water.  He took off downstream when he realized what was going on.  I followed him as far as I could, but eventually the water was too deep and fast.  I thought for sure my tippet would break as I was using 5X and the water was still pretty fast.  But I was able to horse him in against the current.  The nice-sized fish turned out to be an 18" carp.  It was disappointing, but it was a fun fight.
