I have seen fish 3 or 4 miles up some of these creeks in recent years too. Neat seeing big pike basking/spawning in 6 inches of water in a stream that might be 4 feet wide and less than a foot deep.

Now these creeks all have crayfish so the crayfish might be affecting the spawning fish. I'm sure crayfish would fill up on fish eggs and invade the nurseries.
