nice! im new to this, im trying for a turkey, then ill look for a place to fish there. any advice where to fish with a 5 year old?
Are the other 2 furnaces on stamps creek or one of the little other side creeks?Stamp Creek used to be a really good trout stream. It has become a "catch every fish that was just dumped from the stocking truck" kind of stream. Nothing much to be found about an hour after the truck dumps them in.
The place to go is 1.5-2 miles up the dirt road across the creek from the check station on Stamp Creek Church Rd. If the gate is open, drive in. If not, then ride a horse, bike, or walk. There will be a side road to your left, with a concrete bridge. That is where they dump the stockers.
If you go there, check out the old furnace about 100 yds upstream of that concrete bridge, across the creek from the main dirt road. There are at least 3 more old furnace in Pine Log. One is right behind the check station, but it has collapsed pretty badly. The 2 other furnaces require some bushwhacking to get to, but are well worth the effort.

On second thought, what I described might be a good scenario for briefly introducing a youngster to trout fishing. I was just trying to let you know that it gets pretty crowded when there are trout in there. That might out-weigh the positives for you.
It absolutely is as you have a decent chance at actually catching one! If there are other folks just walk the stream(creek). The biggest trout I’ve seen there was in a small hole with a steep bank.....Bout 100 yards further upstream from he first bridge, if I remember right.....musta been 16” or better, EZ!On second thought, what I described might be a good scenario for briefly introducing a youngster to trout fishing.
