Live levels for Indiana's waters — the Corps reservoirs Monroe, Patoka & Brookville, the glacial natural lakes, and Lake Michigan in the northwest corner. Every tube shows the level, the water's two signature fish (hover for the species, click for 2026 tournaments), and a live bite gauge at left. Scroll down for the Trail Creek steelhead run, the catfish rivers, and the smallmouth float rivers.

Indiana's trout story is the Lake Michigan steelhead run — Trail Creek at Michigan City fills with chrome steelhead (and browns) on the fall and spring runs. The cylinder shows live flow (cfs): a fresh rise pulls fish in from the lake. Hover a trout for the species; tap it for a guide.
Trail Creek fishes best on a falling gage after rain pulls steelhead up from Lake Michigan; runs peak in fall and early spring.
The Ohio and Wabash rivers are flathead & blue catfish highways, with the East Fork White giving up flatheads from its deep holes. Live river stage (ft) from NOAA with the action and flood stages marked. Hover a fish for the species; tap it for a guide.
Smallmouth float water — the White River through Indianapolis, the premier Tippecanoe, the wadeable East Fork White and the northern St. Joseph. Live USGS gage height (ft); each tube marks FLOAT, EXPERT and FLOOD. Hover a fish; tap it for an outfitter.
These rivers are clean and wadeable at low gage; they push hard and color up after rain, then drop within a day or two.
