Indian Creek Reservoir 6-C, Nebraska: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Indian Creek Reservoir 6-C is one of the Gage County listings for Nebraska. The bank gives way to rolling bush. At roughly 9 acres, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. Hickman sits 9.4 miles from the bank. The big place round here is Lincoln, 22 miles distant. The boundary is close enough to be worth checking before you fish.

• Where to Fish on Indian Creek Reservoir 6-C

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Across Gage County, recorded fish include common carp, flathead catfish, orangespotted sunfish, green sunfish and stonecat. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Fish this water to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 77°F, while January sits near 23°F. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. Winter locks it down, and mid March brings it back. Open water usually runs from mid March until about mid December. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Plan around that when you fish this water.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. Catfish want bait on the bottom: cut bait or worms, a simple running rig, and patience after dark. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Failing this one, try Indian Creek Reservoir 6-D, 0.7 miles away. For this water in particular, ask before you travel.
