So my family and I just moved from Smyrna up to Woodstock and my usual go-tos like Cochran Shoals and Whitewater are a bit further away. I know there are plenty of smaller and better streams/creeks (I've been to them) but I'm trying to find something close to home. As the father of 2 girls under 3yo I'll take whatever I can get when there is free time. I live near Mill Creek but I've heard that is really not worth checking out. I'm also not too far from Little River and Olde Rope Mill Park. I know neither of these are stocked but are they worth checking out? Are they too warm for trout? Thanks in advance!
Welcome Guest!
Is Little River near Olde Rope Mill Park (Woodstock) worth checking out?

...just joking, seriously.
I doubt you will find any trout there, but some whites and hybrids move up in there in the spring run when the water comes back up a little...
Check out stamp Creek on the north side of the lake for trout. I think it is stocked...

Hey @1eyefishing, thanks for the info! I'll have to give Stamp Creek a look when I get some time (aka my wife lets me go fish while she watches the kids). The stocking list says it gets stocked twice each month from April - July. I'm assuming all the little creeks around 92 - such as Badger, Rubes, Mill, Noonday, etc - are all pretty much troutless? Still trying to get use to the area but I do enjoy being a bit further up north!

No trout at Rope Mill that I know of, but it's a nice place to take the family. Like 1eye said, there's a good many whites and such in early spring, then it's bream and cats.
I learned to fly fish catching bream and bass so I have no problem with that!

There's a good canoe / yak portage there just a few yards from the parking lot and a lot of concrete walking / bike ways going up stream. Google has a nice sat. pic of there whole area.
