Leo, I can't remember.  There's nothing to block passage downstream, although there is a series of small falls that block passage upstream.  There are some small sunnies that are trapped there.  I've even seen a small LMB up there.  However, when the creek downstream floods, it will come up about 20', and this little creek will escape it's banks and inundate the park.  Nothing to keep the fish trapped then.

Rex, Logan will go catch all sorts of crawfish for bait, small frogs, minnows, and even catch a small sunnie and use that for cut bait.  Wish I had taught him, but one of the neighbor kids taught him.

I need to teach these kids about Catalpa Worms.  We've got the trees like crazy, but finding a tree on public property that is infested, and easily harvested, is another thing.

A lot of the fun for kids with fishing is hunting the bait.  It's sad that most kids never get to experience this kind of adventure.  Kids that get to do things like he is doing grow up to be good stewards of the land.  Keep'em fishin'!

Any trapped fish in this stretch?

This particular creek is less than a mile long, and dumps into a bigger, usually turbid, creek about 100 yds downstream from where he's standing.

The creeks in my immediate area will be clear if they have a rocky bottom, but many of them have dirt/mud/clay bottoms, and are usually turbid.  Drive a little over an hour east, and you start getting into the foothills of the Ozarks, and those creeks/rivers are clear.  Drive an hour west, and the streams are always turbid.

That said, most of the streams are clear right now.  No flow coming downriver has let the dirt settle out of the water column.
