• Where to Fish on Cub Creek Reservoir G-6

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Gage County records list common carp, flathead catfish and orangespotted sunfish among the fish reported. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. At this water the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 77°F, with January the cold end at about 24°F. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from mid March. Expect the water usable from around mid March until roughly mid December. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. This water runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. Catfish want bait on the bottom: cut bait or worms, a simple running rig, and patience after dark. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. If the gate is shut, Cub Creek Reservoir G-1 at 1 mile is the nearest alternative. Check the position at this water before loading the car.
