• Where to Fish on North Creek Reservoir

At North Creek Reservoir the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 65°F, with January the cold end at about 15°F. Winter shuts the surface down for months. The lid usually goes in mid April, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about mid April until roughly early December. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Plan around that when you fish North Creek Reservoir.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. If the gate is shut, Rabbit Pond at 0.6 miles is the nearest alternative.
