• Where to Fish on Little Romney Creek

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Being tidal, the water moves twice a day, and the fishing moves with it. The head and tail of a pool beat the body of it. Gravel runs and silted pools fish quite differently, so treat them apart. County-wide records name tessellated darter, bluegill, redbreast sunfish, white sucker and American eel. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Fish Little Romney Creek to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 76°F and January reads 33°F. Some winters cap it and some do not. Cover comes and goes, so treat it with suspicion rather than trust. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Little Romney Creek.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Stavley Pond at 7.5 miles is the sensible second choice. Confirm before you fish Little Romney Creek.
