• Where to Fish on Anthony Creek

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Wading opens water that no bank angler reaches. Log jams gather bait and everything that eats it. Survey and observation records for Fulton County include brown trout, brook trout, white sucker and brown bullhead. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Work Anthony Creek in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 67°F in July and bottom out at 17°F in January. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. The quiet pools cap over in winter, the riffles never quite do, and mid April clears the lot. The season between ice runs from about mid April to early December. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. That is the shape of the year on Anthony Creek.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. The car has to stay 0.9 miles away, which shapes how much tackle you bring. Jim's Bait Shop sits half a mile out and is marked for fishing. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. The nearest alternative is Rice Reservoir, 3.4 miles out. Nothing on Anthony Creek should be assumed from this page alone.
