Decided to try again since last friday produced nothing. This time Mill creek was in perfect condition. Arrived at the creek about 10am armed with a 1/16oz. jig and white and pearl twister. Within minutes i tied into my first smallie of the year. Nothing big but I dont think these fish realize how big they are, all put up terrific fights.
Began working my way upstream picking apart all the deeper holes and catching a few dinks here and there. I then came up to the dam and i knew that they were going to be stacked up in there and i was right. Within 10 minutes i had caught about 10 fish. Nothing big but still a blast, although all the carp and suckers in there made it a pain in the ass trying not to snag them. After that the action died to i jumped up above the dam with no action to speak of. I did see a couple smallies building a bed up there and decided to leave them alone to do there thing.
After a while of nothing i waded back downstream and worked the area closer to the mouth. This is where i landed the bigger fish of the day.
Since i spent most of my time fishing the creek i only had about half hour to fish the river and since N. Aurora was on my way home i fished the dam for a little while. Bait fish were jumping all over the place. Threw my jig and twister in waiting for a hit and got this little guy.
By then it was time to pack it up. Good day of fishing with about 25 fish caught.

You can never fish the same river twice, by the time you get back it's not the same river.
