The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Species logged across Saint Charles County include common carp, bluegill, green sunfish and channel catfish. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. This water responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 79°F and January near 29°F. Some winters cap it and some do not. It is not guaranteed from one year to the next. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. The season on this water follows the weather closely. Settled weather over several days beats a single fine one.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. There is a car park half a mile from the bank. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground.
