Looking for some creeks that are wadable down here in South Carolina. I would prefer something between knee and waist deep. I would also prefer it to be rock/sand bottom rather than mud. The closer to Charleston the better. If you come out with me to you spot I'll buy your lunch. Thanks!

Sadly, I don't know of any, but why have members virtually abandoned writing responses on the forum? I can see how many views a topic has had, but it seems like people only view and don't take part in many discussions. The facebook group on the other hand....

Hope you find your info one way or another!

There are likely several that were recently visited by some folks during the NANFA Convention back in March.  I didnt head to the coastal areas, but I am sure there are others that did.

I see a popular YT creator that focuses on fossil collecting around the Summerville area wading creeks to find fossils, so there must be fish in them too.

 

I agree with Thomas that I think more folks should be active on here, for the sake of NANFA. I hope that our members that post so often on FB would also contribute here. This forum and website is a much better reference to find material if we're researching any native fish topic. FB is only good for the topic of the day.

This is a phenomenon of forums of all kinds. Less people visit them because of the instant reaction that they get on FB on their posts. It's a shame, because if you really want to learn something, forums are a much better reference.

Long Shoals wayside park in Sunset, Pickens (near the western North Carolina border) is a very small public wading/swimming/sliding area, with a slick, solid rocky bottom, but rich in minnows. Mountain stream type of place on the Little Eastatoe creek, right next to some nice state parks. I've stuck my camera into it and come back with footage of creek chub, Nocomis chubs, northern hogsuckers, and some kind of Notropis or other.

I will say that a lot of the facebook group discussion is fish ID. I think another reason its more popular is that the group shows up in your facebook feed and doesn't require going to another website. I will agree that there seems to be a lot of views and not a lot of participators.

I reached out to Dustin Smith and was able to get a good list of spots people visited.

Thanks for letting me know. I would love to get up to the upstate but its quite a distance from Charleston for a daytrip.

Sure, no problem. If you figure out what creeks he visits, and I come down, I'll join you for a fish/fossil trip
