Indian Creek Reservoir

Changes in land use, new wells for urban development, the need for dam repairs and the drought all have affected the reservoir levels at Indian Creek Reservoir. Indian Creek Reservoir is filled primarily by low elevation snowfall.  Back in the 1980's and early 90's, water used to back up past the interstate because of above average winter precipitation.  It is also a productive system from a fisheries perspective for both warm and cool water fishes.  It used to produce some of the largest bluegill in the state.  It was also know for crappie, largemouth bass, channel catfish and rainbow trout. If we ever get back into a wet cycle, we are ready to invest sportsman's dollars into dam repairs that will improve water retention in the reservoir.
