Greetings Fisherpersons!!
You have found Meadow Creek!!
Here you will find many places to fish away to your hearts content.
So grab your fishing pole and hop in the boat with us as we take you to one of
our favorite fishing spots!
Butte Creek
There is a little stream in Northern California. You drive thru a small
town called Paradise in the mountains around Chico, to get to Butte Creek.
You can drive right to the edge of the stream.
It is a wonderful place to
go fishing, but ya have to know what the trout like here to catch them,
unless you are satisfied to catch the planted trout, YUK .
Every hear of a lil
bug called a Helgramite ? Well the German Brown Trout in Butte Creek LOVE
them. It is a lil bug about and inch in length , blackish brown, and lots
of lil legs. They live in the water under and around the rocks. How do
you catch them so you can catch the trout?
First you need a big piece of
window screen. I like to put two poles on the edges and nail the screen to
them. Then you wade out into the steam and placing the screen into the
water where the current is running. Then you have your fishing buddy go
upstream a ways and start turning over the rocks . As he does the Helgramites
wash down and into the screen. Pull the screen out of water and grab those
lil suckers and put them in your bait box. Easy huh ? LOL
Now go get your gear cause you are ready. Use a long shank hook and a split
shot weight about 8 inches above the hook. Take one of the lil buggies out
of the bait box and run the hook thru his mouth and out his bottom. Moving
to the stream, gently throw the scrumptious Helgramite out above a rock in
the stream so that it will flow around and to the pool behind the rock.
That is where that hungry German Brown is waiting to Munch ! For Fun ,
walk back thru the camp ground with your string of Trout and smile at all
the other fishermen as their jaws drop , cause they didn't catch anything
using their lil salmon eggs, or worms, or spinners.
I love doing that !
Coming soon.....more great places to fish, and fishing jokes!
