Submerged islands at a creek junction

Underwater islands lie across from the meeting of Clear and Caney creeks at Cedar Creek Reservoir. They give an offshore search a more specific destination than a random open-water drift.

White bass and hybrids can be followed through their feeding activity, using small spoons or shad imitations. Largemouth fishing takes a different direction: examine vegetation in lower-lake coves with a weedless plastic. For blue catfish, cut shad provides a bait option that can be fished along a chosen contour.
