I fish Deer Creek quite a bit for various species.
What kind of fishing do you do? Boat? Bank?
This time of year is usually trout. Trolling flies, jakes, rapallas, worm rigs, or spinners can all be effective. Usually some experimentation will find the right color / rig combinations.
Summer is the best time to fish Deer Creek. The Smallies are plentiful and getting bigger. The same techniques can yield decent sized Large Mouth. My favorite is using Pop-R's on the shoreline between first light and full sunnup. After that, the Senko is the right tool.
I don't normally target walleye but catch a few every year. Usually on the trout gear (raps or worm rigs) fished close to the bottom.
I've also caught a 32" beast of a Carp up there.
I don't target the panfish species (Crappie, Sunfish, Perch) but I have caught them all.... usually while fishing for Small Mouth or trout.
Hope that helps!
