| ronlunatics reviewed the location Aux Sable Creek.
this is an excellent fishing spot any time of the day at the dam head east and you'll come upon a little bridge and the fishing there is AMAZING!..
you will be able to catch a wide range of fish and turtles here so even the most expeirenced anglers will have fun. a small john boat,canoe,or row boat comes in handy for most spots along the i&m canal.
bluegill,crappie,bass,cats are very previllent and will bite on a variety of baits and lures but the best chances of a bite are still on good ol' chicken livers frozen from the local bait shop. night crawlers wax worms and leeches are other good ones.
for best results fish the bottom with a 1/2 ounce sinker with a big hood b/c whatever hits will be big. for the smaller fish the wax worms and leeches will do just fine spinner baits and most jigs with my luck has come to me with no avail. a bait caster with decent ten lbs line will do good for the smaller stuff one catfishing pole with at least a twenty lbs line would be great you could probably pull off less but it could come into problems with line breaks. be carefull of snags there every where and make sure to bring sunscreen and alot of bug repelent there horrable out there hope this review sheds some light onto this spot happy fishing!!!! ohh before i forget they have a pet shop on w washington by feenies liqour calle juniors pet shop in the back of the shop is a little haven of fishing gear and baits/lures the frozen chicken livers are best here once again happy fishing!!!4 stars

This place stocks Rainbow in the spring and Cats once a week!! Brought my boy and rented a boat. The bass were hitting out cranks all morning long. Biggest caught was just over 2 lbs, but we bagged 8 total. All around nice place to bring the family, or for a day of serious fishing.4 stars
