I have two questions.I was wondering i go to the creek with my friend right i was wondering is there a posiblity of fish (like trout,catfish) in it from run off from the creek up there were there trout,bass and catfish so i was wondering if this possible.And by the way weres the best place ,to fish for cats its muddy water right.
 
under trees, in heavy grasses, by large bolders any place they can hide.
 
They like to hang out in and around deep holes.
 
for BIG cats, find a deepest part of the lake, then find the nearest shallows. wait til dawn and fish in the shallows. Big cats feed on bluegill and other larger fish. They spend their days in the deep and feed in the shallows at night. 8-10p is the best time. They are usually full after 10p
 
Check out this guy we got electrofishing in a creek yesterday. It was for a little survey exercise for an ichthyology field course I'm in right now. (And he was released in great shape right after we weighed and measured him)
He lived under a big pile of tree trunks and limbs in a deep pool in the stream.
