• Where to Fish on Upper Red Rock Creek Site 5 Reservoir

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Fish documented in Noble County include orangespotted sunfish, green sunfish, channel catfish and bluegill. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Fish this water to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 83°F, the coldest about 34°F. Ice comes and goes from one year to the next. It is not guaranteed even in a cold spell, so check yourself. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. On this water that shapes the whole year. Barometer swings matter more than a degree or two.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. The closest car park is half a mile away, so pack accordingly. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Upper Red Rock Creek Site 6 Reservoir at 0.4 miles is the sensible second choice. The position on this water is worth confirming on the day.
