Big/Gnat Creek this weekend?

[halibuthitman]

Disclaimer.... every time I send someone to these creeks they end up saying they suck or there are no fish, these are tricky little systems that take time to learn, the fish hold in fast water, spook easy and can get caught in stumps and logs fast... so expect little, you don't learn these places in 1 day... but its somewhere to fish when other places are blown... good luck, you,ll need it-

Yea, there is a park below the hatcher that had a lot of stump and trees in the creek, looked pretty nasty. When I was there it was really low and clear, very tough fishing. I look forward to a challenge AND anything to get me out of the house for a bit. All I need is a rod, waders and a pint of brandy . Would you reccomend any specific baits/lures? Im probably just going to bring yarn balls/corkies with a small selection of spoons and jigs. Baby shower and xmas wont leave room for much more! If any of you guys are around, hit me up. I wouldlove to learn some of these small creeks!

i would love to toss some egg patterns for winter steel there but it's too far of a drive for me, i'm limited to nestucca,alsea,salmon and siletz and anything in between those.

I was there saturday a little high and fast but pretty good considering the oregon sunshine we had earlier in the week . Hooked one actually didn't realize he was there until to late . I was fishing a little hole you can't easily cast into have to toss it out and let the water carry it carefully down and around a log jam . your drift ends up swinging across a small pool when it pops out of the fast water so I was just letting it swing then bringing it back to the fast water and repeating . Never felt the strike and wasn't in a good position to see my line stop it was weird all the sudden I felt him on the rod as he came up to the surface and did the shake and spit the hook . Caught me daydreaming and it happened quickly so the hook never was realy set good if at all . I also got one good solid strike in the same hole I shoulda hooked that one guess I am a little rusty . see ya MC
