• Where to Fish on Big Indian Creek Reservoir 2-B

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Gage County records list common carp, flathead catfish, orangespotted sunfish and green sunfish among the fish reported. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. On this water a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about 24°F in January to roughly 78°F in July. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly early March. Expect the water usable from around early March until roughly late December. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. On this water the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Should this one be busy, Big Indian Creek Reservoir 11-B is 1.3 miles off. For this water, the notice at the access point is the final word.
