One of the great things about creek fish is that they are usually not hard to catch, especially this time of year. With the creek low, the fish have to congregate in the bigger pools, and there is often a race for your lure when it hits the water. I don't think it's necessary to carry a lot of different lures and have settled on using spinner baits and Texas rigged 6" worms, with a small crankbait to try if they aren't biting good.
A roostertail will work very well, but I think they hang up too often with the treble hook. Instead, I use a 1/8 oz spinner that is made just like a regular spinner baits. Walmart always has them in various colors, and they hardly ever hang up.
The only special skill I've found you need for creek fishing is to make sure you don't scare the fish. If a place has any pressure, the bigger ones become very spooky and will see you from that clear water. Make long casts into the holes, and at times I have even used bank cover to slip up on a good hole.
All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
