We have a medium size creek say 10-15 yds wide in our area I like to fish.
It eventually drains into center hill after meeting up with 2 other rivers. Last summer I caught smallies, rainbow trout (stockers) redeye, bluegills..
This year....nothing. Nothing bigger than a minnow following my rooster tail.
Do the fish move out of the cold water creeks during winter, then move back up in spring/summer as the water warms?
Does high water flush the fish downstream until the water flow regulates in the late spring/summer?
OR did the otters I saw clean the creek out?
