Dayton

Well I have decided to try somewhere different Thursday and going to make the drive up to Dayton to pit in... where is a good safe place to put in up there... also how are the creeks about being marked... thought about fishing sale creek or around some park up there but can't remember the name.. any help would be greatly appreciated

Dayton Boat Dock is safe and easily accessible. Richland Creek is well marked, but mud creek and moon slough takes a good GPS or knowledge of the channels.

Thank you... how far is it out from the ramp to the channel... also better fishing sale creek or Richland creek...

A 1-2 mile run to the river from Dayton boat dock but there is a no wake zone @ Blue Water CG. I can't comment on which is better as I don't fish up there.

how was the fishing up in Richland Creek? did you get to go fish it?

Richland creek gets restocked from the tx, like CFP. When I lived there, we launched at Dayton boat dock, but everyone ran some place else, kinda like the grass is greener............ I would fish the sloughs no further north than Cottonport , Hiawassee, and no further south than Hwy. 60 bridge if I launch at Dayton. That gives you about twenty miles of river to fish.

Good fishing on the entire lake.... just that the different styles of fishing will depend on the types of structure you fish and where.

I am looking forward to fishing in Dayton this weekend. Never fished that far up.

coming out of that slough from Dayton boat dock is a little tight with a lot of boats coming through so be careful. Also there is a now wake from bank to bank in front of the resort or camping area.
