Any updates as to wether the water level is back to normal?

it'a back up and muddy as of 4-9 still that stupid $10 launch charge no matter what time of day you get there.The girl at the bait shop told me the old guy with the beard would'nt let a grandpa and his 7 yr old grandson go fish for 20 min before his basaball practice without charging them 3 bucks a piece.They need a half day rate.

I have a float tube. Do I have to pay a boat fee?

[crankb8]

I'm not sure if float tubes are allowed on EC. (That doesn't mean you can't still use one.) I know the only official swimming/wading area is the swimming beach in the park area with the rest of the lake restricted. Here's the park phone number to call for more info: 317-327-7116

Okay thanks. I've been out a few times on mine at EC both in the park and over by rick's boatyard. So far no one has said anything to me about it.

How is it looking at Eagle Creek now? I hope the water's not up too high with this rain we've had recently.

[mister_fisher]

Went there over the weekend with my dad, and between the two of us caught 44 crappie. Probably 12-15 of them were keepers.

[rw02kr43]

well I guess I am done at Eagle Creek. I have been going there for a few years on my tube and Friday was told I can't be there on my tube. So, I'm not going back I guess.
