Deer Creek in Ohio

[bigcatman]

does anyone know how the fishing is here because i would like to know about it a little more been there a lot and seen a lot of good spots but never fished it

[bigfish]

well bigcatman its been about 25 years since ive fished it. back then it was awsome for channel cats.

[bigcatman]

thats kool but do u think its still good

[waterwalker]

Brother which Deer Creek do you mean? There are two that I know of,
one is Deer Creek Reservoir and Deer Creek Lake that supplies water for
Alliance Oh. As far as the reservoir, I can't help you but Deer Creek Lake
is electric only, it is one of the best crappie lakes in the area. Cats go from 12 to 20 inches on average, bass fishing is great if your into that.

http://www.gofishohio.com/lakemaps/gfoDeerCreekRes.php, here is the link for the lake. I live in Louisville and I drive north on route 225 about
four miles, the road that leads to the lake is directly across from a small
private airfield called Barber Field. The road is just south of the bridge
that spans the first part of Berlin Resivoir. It is a nice small lake to picnic
with the family if you so desire, also it has nice bank fishing.

[Mathersm]

There are lots of nice channels in there. I always just bank fish off of old 207. Usually have to get there at a decent time if you want a nice spot, because it gest crowded on warm nights in the summer.

[bigcatman]

whats the best way to fish the spillway and what is the best bait to use there also

[ryang]

James Ive never caught anything there yet but Ive only been there a couple of times. Shad/Gill/worm/stinky. Any of it should be good.

[bigcatman]

ok cool i was thinking about going some time this weekend so ya

[ryang]

No Problem if you see a grey Ford windstar with 48 sticker and US Navy stickers on the back that is me. Ill have a tanish brown boonie cap on.

[bigcatman]

[bigcatman]

whent out to the lake last night and i got nothin g other then a 1lbs yellow bellies or small flatty man did it burn me up not catching anything can some one tell me what bait works best at the dam becuase shad suck balls

[ryang]

I was at the spillway from 8 - 5 Today was getting alot of hits on Shrimp but there was a lot of small saugers (I snagged one and cut it up) did get some pretty strong bites off of that but no takers. I snagged a blue gill also and caught about a 1.5 - 2lbs Channel I didnt even know it was on my line. I was reeling in to check the bait (Gill Head) and it was on there. Here are some pics of the outing.

[ryang]

My wife also caught a small sauger and I think it was a Small Drum or Buffalo Carp. It had Purple on the top of its head anybody know what that is? Also had sucker like lips

[teaysvalleyguy]

Glad to hear you had some luck Ryan.

We played poker from 6:30 last night until 7:30 this morning. Then had to do the honey do list. Beautiful day to get out though.

[dip]

hay ryang mighta seen you at the spillway. 1st time there and too crowded for billy-gee-whiz. cats weren't hitting anywhere on that lake today. we got 3 off old 207. were you on the non latrine side?

[ryang]

Dip I started out about the middle of the spillway then moved to under the bridge when it starated raining. I was on the Latrine side. My wife and her friend from work and our kids were all in the middle at about 2
