• Where to Fish on Upper Red Rock Creek Site 55 Reservoir

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Records held for Noble County cover orangespotted sunfish, green sunfish, channel catfish, bluegill and flathead catfish. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. At this water light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 83°F and January about 35°F. Fishing continues through most of the calendar, with quiet spells rather than closures. It should never be assumed safe, whatever the month says. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. The season on this water rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Failing this one, try Upper Red Rock Creek Site 51 Reservoir, 4.5 miles away. Ask locally about this water if anything is unclear.
