These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. The shape of Indian Creek Reservoir decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about 23°F in January to roughly 59°F in July. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near late April.
