Well I finally made it to a smaller creek where I have permission. Last year I found only one point there. Today was showing some encouragement by all the broken pieces plus the one whole. Maybe over the summer I will find some more. We will have to see.

That's a good way to start the season!

I wish we had creeks that were huntable. I see guys hunting nice wide creeks full of rocks with very little water. Just like CreekSide has. Our creeks are narrow with mud bottoms. It’s because of all the farming. So much soil runs into the creeks you rarely see a gravel bar. Before farming started in the 1850s, our creeks and the river all had rock bottoms. All the erosion is pretty sad.

Thanks
Lots of broken ones this year. It’s strange material but I will keep it

Same here in some Creeks.

The mud bottom Creeks we grub down thru the Mud to get to the rocks and sift in the bends and it always paid off...

When reaching /grubbing down into the mud ,HOW do you prevent from getting cut from broken pieces of glass ?

If that is a concern of yours, don't do it then...

Besides, we use shovels and dump the load into floating sifters...
