Correct lol. I will say that our trout in the creek with the current clean up fast as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exSW Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Is that a true creek or an irrigation canal? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHRunner Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 21 minutes ago, exSW said: Is that a true creek or an irrigation canal? Both. Its a natural creek. Bout 13miles of water. Its sometimes river fed. Sometimes canal fed. But 90% rainwater 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHRunner Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 First picture is the bent fort canal holding facility. Second is the road12 flood zone. You see daelyn and i fish it a lot. Beautiful area of exposed sandstone and good bass ficchin. Third is where the lamar canal flows under clay creek. There is a pipe that feeds the main body of clay creek as well as the pond. But it only accounts for sustained water flow. Even shut off like the canal has been for a month or so now the creek maintains its water level and right now is actually high due to some rain and snow. Fourth is the higbee pond and shooting range. Mike higbee donated all the land to the state to be a small walk in sportsman paradise. Fish. Deer. Bobcats. Coyotes. Turkey. Pheasants. Dove. All walk in access. Last is the main fishery. I fish there some. Usually only during trout season. But dae and i enjoy it for giant panfish and the state record bass was nearly set out there this year. Not a lot of species. And it can be a grind. But its beautiful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IHRunner Posted December 8, 2019 Author Share Posted December 8, 2019 Also went out with a fellow competitive shooter today and put some rounds down range. Took the stupid dirt cheap 270 to 700yards today and decided thats about as far as i can push it sadly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exSW Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Dang. 700 yards. That's awesome. 300-400 is a big shot here. Country's just to broke up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledgehammer Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 That country looks like you could shoot for miles if the gun would handle it. I’m sure there is more roll to it that what it looks. Still pretty country. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My farthest target is at 1200 yards. Its 24x24. I only have three rifles i can hit it with consistently. Im just not as good as a lot of these guys nowadays. I change rifles too much and dont drill with just one. But yeah. Its actually basically that flat lol. In the picture you can just barely see blake ranging out the two closest targets. 250 and 400 now. The 700 yard one you cant even see with a naked eye lol. Need better paint on her.

exSW Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Pretty spec. Will those stocked fish spawn and survive? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trout are capable of surviving in this creek if they can avoid the giant largemouth and catfish. And they do survive a lot, some get 14-16 inches. But never enough to spawn. Our water is too warm down here. We thrive on medium temp species. Giant crappie wiper and walleye. As well as largemouth and cats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IHRunner Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 Dumb crankbait eating troutheads. Saw some green sunficch minners and started throwing my little crankbait. Took the front treble off to help with not murdering 100 trout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sledgehammer Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Trout aren’t walleye or crappie but they are still tasty. Harder to clean with all the bones but can still be a very good meal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
