I'm in central IN, and last summer my friends and I really got into small creek fishing in the area. None of us are really experienced with moving water, so we don't really know when to head back out. Most fish in our area headed to deeper water in mid October, and these creeks mostly freeze in the winter and have ice pack though February. When can we expect them to be biting again? We mostly go for smallmouth, gar, and catfish. Sugar Creek area in Crawfordsville if any of you are familiar with the area. We usually go when the water is clear and below 1.5 feet at this location (http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?gage=crwi3&wfo=ind). It's currently muddy and coming down from a minor flood. We tried on Saturday for a few hours, but it still seemed completely empty.
