• Where to Fish on Little Indian Creek Reservoir 13-A

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. County-wide records name common carp, flathead catfish, orangespotted sunfish and green sunfish. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. This water repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about 23°F in January to roughly 77°F in July. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from mid March. Break-up near mid March, freeze-up near mid December: that is the shape of an average year. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. At this water the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. The nearest alternative is Indian Creek Reservoir 12-A, 1.4 miles out. Signs at this water carry more weight than any list.
