Okmulgee creek cuts our family land in half. One side is perry, one side is dallas county. I have always wanted to float from our place to Old Cahawba on the Alabama River. Never have though.

I always wanted to put a boat in the creek where 14 crosses it, and then float to the mouth of the creek and down the river to the old iron bridge. I never got the chance to do it, and now never will. The state shut down access to the creek, and I don't think you can access the Cahaba at the old bridge either. It's a shame to have such nice rivers and the public can't even get to them. We never floated Okmulgee, but we wade fished it a lot in the late summer and fall. I was going to try to wade fish it last fall, but they don't allow any access at the bridge.

I killed my first gobbler in 1966 about 300 yards above the mouth of Okmulgee on the Perry side. And I also caught my first walleye about a mile below the 14 bridge. I wonder if there are still any in the creek? I think that might be as far south as they have ever existed. [/quote]
Me and a buddy did that float 14 to the old bridge if you were talking about the one right above hwy 80. We didn’t catch crap really. Our old club was the border on that side of the cahaba. Man we miss that place. [/quote]


Yeah, that's the bridge. The last time I drove down to it from the Selma side it was blocked off and you couldn't get to the creek. I don't know if you can still access it from the other side or not. One of my uncles used to have access to land on the west side of the river and had a rough landing on it. We used to take out there and didn't go all the way to the bridge. There used to be some giant deer on that property, but I haven't been on it in decades. [/quote]

We had almost a mile on the west side all the way to the bridge. We lost it around 02 and yes there were some studs on it. The creek that ran into our property by the bridge was full of spots. I caught 2 that were probably 3.5# on back to back cast there one day. Old black lady on the other side went to Walmart and bought her some of them worms after that. Lol.

Would walk over a naked woman to get to a gobblin turkey!
