Big Spring Creek Construction

[Night_Stalker]

I visited the Big Spring Creek (Cumberland Valley) last evening and witnessed 2 vehicles from Virginia and some large earth moving equipment. It looks like it will become ugly out there real soon. Equipment and many tons of various sized rock where located at the first parking lot upstream from Nealy Road. The parking lot was marked with signs closing it. Upstream was staked and marked with many fluorescent tapes. A temporary platform has also been built.

This might make it a little tougher for me to catch a 33" brown!

This was the best outline of work plans I could find:

I took a trip to the stream on Sunday and found the section I wanted to fish closed which kind of sucked but I do understand its a short term sacrifice for the long term benefit of the stream. The area where the bank rebuilding has already been completed is really nice but it didn't help the fish cooperate unfornuately.
