Steve just moved up here last Fall from Louisiana, and he's used lo fishing for large mouth Bass This minnow spinnerbait was about the size of your index finger, so it really looked funny being pulled across that little pond Steve got the last laugh, because after he pulled in his second trout. I found myself poking around in his tackle box trying to find one for me I haven’t had a chance to check out Willow Creek lake for awhile, hut from what I hear from local sportsmen it’s still pretty slow I've found good fishing on Willow Creek itself Rhea Creek has been producing some nice-looking trout A little warning to creek fishermen always he on the lookout for rattle snakes I’ve never seen any on Willow Creek, hut I have heard of them being killed there in the past I believe they're a little thicker on Rhea Creek I've seen them dead on the road, and a couple of years ago my wife Kelly and I almost stepped on one up Thom Creek, a tributary of Rhea Creek Please he careful. Each week 1 would like to reserve a spot in my Column to recognize a local landowner who allows sportsmen to hunt and fish on their land Mr and Mrs Darrel H arm on Upper Rhea Creek have been kind and generous in allowing me and others the privilege of hunting and fishing on their land Heppner thinclads hold their own in AAA competition By Aihley Conklin Against tome of its toughest com petition of the season at the Her miston Kiwanis Invitational on Saturday, April 25.
