<p>I have never fished that area but I looked at it on google earth (satelite images) and it looks like a decent sized creek that should have some whites and stripers move up it as both species are abundant in lake Sinclair. Are you wanting to float it by kayak or canoe or are you just wanting to fish from the bank? It looks like it <strong>might</strong> be big enough to float down from Glenwood Springs Rd to Hwy 129/44. Hard to tell for sure from satelite photo how much water/flow is there. The more current the better as far as whites and other linesides running up river. There are lots of lures that may work for whites but my favorites are crappie hair jigs, preferably with a blade like this one (which is also snag-proof):</p>

<p>I have use the small stump jumpers like the one in the link above (minus the snagproof) with good success IF THEY ARE THERE… Or you can use Rooster-tail type spinners, thought they will get you hung up more as they have the trebble hooks. Also if you just want to fish one or 2 holes from the bank you can buy a bucket of crappie minnows and put them a couple feet under a float and they will get eaten if the whites/stripes are there. The biggest thing on these runs is to be at the right place at the right time, as if they are there thick enough you can catch them with a bare hook… That comes from experience and research, OR going with someone who has experience catching them… Maybe someone will chime in that has fished there before and give some advice. My general rule of thumb is when the water temp gets up to 60 degrees in the river (and is still colder in the lake downstream) then the linesides will move up in force. Some will go earlier and some will go later. If you can't find someone with experience in that area to help you out then I would suggest you buy a pool thermometer (about $5 at Home Depot) and start checking the water temps and fishing the deeper holes below rapids about April.</p>
<p>As far as other places you can catch them good in that general vacinity to the West above Westpoint lake on the Chattahoochee river near Franklin, GA they get pretty thick most years. To the East I have also heard that they go up Little River on Clarks Hill Lake. Good Luck and post how you do. Dirk</p>
