I've been thinking that I need to find a creek in the Talladega National Forest that I can wade next summer.
I'll look forward to reading your book.
That's one of the best places, honestly. This book doesn't give a list of streams to fish, because as you fellow turkey hunters know, that kind of info isn't just handed out. However, it does include the main drainages where they are native and how to best locate and fish for them.
Can't blame you for not sharing your holes. A small redeye stream can't take a lot of pressure. In my experience, it doesn't really matter which creek you are on; every creek in Coosa Co that I ever tried held red-eye. I used to fish the smaller creeks early in the summer, and focus on bigger streams later in the summer and all the way to October. Weogufka Creek on the old part of the Coosa WMA had some great wade fishing during droughts. Many of those would be spotted bass, but I would catch redeyes too.
I don't mind talking publicly about the Weogufka now;it's all been taken out of the WMA and there isn't even access to float it.
I've ordered your book and look forward to reading it. There isn't much published info on the redeye.
