Big Murphy Creek is a trout stream and tributary to the Indian River in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. It is formed by the joining of 2 major tributaries Bear Creek and Carr Creek which also hold trout. It flows thru the Hiawatha National forest and is crossed by 2 bridges providing abundant public access. The stream is shallow, sandy and relatively slow. Due to the slow current a lot of trees accumulate in the stream corridor. Dry flies are a good choice as they are less likely to get snagged. Brook trout are the main trout species present. Some habitat improvement structures were created by the Superior Watershed Partnership Great Lakes Conservation Corps.

You really get around. Good vids too
Enjoyed the video as usual, the drone footage gives a new view of the area. I am generally not interested in technical advances but am really enjoying the addition. TIGHT LINES
Great casting form, Dan!
That fiberglass spin-fly rod is a real joy to cast with and encourages a good casting form.
ive often wondered myself if there was fish in it now i know thanks
I was up there this summer back in August caught a 10-inch Brookie on a feeder to the net River. Sometimes the feeders hold more fish. Did hardly any fishing because the bugs were the worst in history this past summer
I think the recent bat die off might be related to the bug outbreak.
