East Hickory Creek, Forest Co, 4-23-2022

[Prospector]

Time Fished: 7pm - 730pm
Weather Conditions: Cloudless sky but the valley was in shade, 70 degrees
Water Conditions: 46 degrees, a nice green color, running fast
Insects: none

I was heading home but decided to make a quick stop. Several campers stream side and a few people fishing. I hit 2 good holes with a streamer but had no strikes. It probably will fish better at midday with the water being so cold. East Hickory has historically has been tough for me in April. The road paralleling the DHALO might have a record number of potholes.

Road is real bad. Surprised you didn’t get any.
