I have finally found a creek chub spot! A small hole in a creek about the size of a pickup. Have walked up and down the creek within 100yds of where I'm catching them and haven't gotten so much as a bite, but the hole is still holding fish. I have taken roughly 25-30 chubs out of the spot. The creek during a regular season would most likely drain into a small river but with the dry conditions we've had it is no longer connected to the river.
My question for the experts..Does it pay to not over fish my little hole in hopes of them making it through the winter? I'm thinking they'll freeze out though. My guess is their hole is 3' deep max but most of the creek, is now only maybe 1' deep. If the general consensus is that they'll freeze out, I'll gladly keep catching them in hopes that the hole is replenished come spring.
