Drove out to Clear Creek park to wade around a little bit and was skunked on trout. Only turned one fish over -- barely even saw fish. The park is gorgeous, and I'd love to go more often, but it's hard to justify the hour drive based on what I saw today.

Anybody have advice?

Clear Creek was absolutely blown out about a month ago - I've never seen it raging so high and so fast - and then immediately followed by a very dry spell, prompting the extreme low waters that I saw last week. I fear it may be a year or two before Clear Creek is back to fishable.

I also have been discussing with Metro Parks, and they don't think it is going to be stocked with trout this fall, so it may be back to just being a mediocre-at-best smallie stream (in the park area, anyway).

I was there briefly last weekend and caught two little smallies, that was it.

I was going to fish it last Sunday, but it was still a little off color from the rain. I'm not quite brave enough yet to wade where I don't have a good view of where I'm walking. Have not been there enough yet to know where all the holes are, so I decided to pass and try again later.

I was there two seeks ago and only managed several chubs. No trout and no smallies, either. The water was very low and clear at the time.

I just got back from clear creek. I seen no trout what so ever. I only caught a chub. They for sure haven't stocked it, and if they don't stock it that will be a shame. Even though fishing gets rough during the spring ive always managed to have luck fishing it the years they do stock it. Guess we will have to wait and see.

still nothing....anyone hear anything yet?

I hit Clear Creek on the 9th (I believe; can't remember at this point!), and I did manage to land a 10 inch brown trout. But that was more luck than anything. Hope the place gets stocked as I can almost never make a trip up to the Mad/Erie and down to WV, and I've got to get my winter trout fishing in!
