East Fork White Water River, Indiana Fly Fishing Reports & Conditions
My tips of the week
Currently the tailwater is fishable! The water leve is reading 3.01 feet at the gauge, this makes every inch accessable! Be on the look out for sporadic hatches that happen this time of year, terrestrials are beginning to work too! Nymphing should work really well this week as our weather warms up! Hopefully we'll see some hatches too!

East Fork White Water River Description

Brookville as it is so called, is one of the few trout fisheries in the state of Indiana. While flows fluctuate constantly due to the dam built by the Army Corps of Engineers, you will get into large fish if you know where to look and how to fish it. The state stocks it yearly with Rainbow and Brown Trout, while this is a put and take fishery, most fly fishermen practice catch and release.

Techniques & Tips

Nymphing is always a great technique to use at the tailwater! This time of year, we'll experience sporadic hatches offering up dry fly fishing opportunities. Don't be afraid to try a dry dropper set up! Streamers can be a game changer too, don't be afraid to throw a little meat at them!

7-Day Forecast

The outlook for this week looks great! We'll return to summer temperatures this week, with humidity increasing.
