Little Pigeon Creek flows through Henderson, Spencer, and Warrick Counties in Indiana before emptying into the Ohio River. This tributary system offers diverse fishing opportunities across over 1,900 acres of managed habitat through the Little Pigeon Creek Wetland Conservation Area. The creek features a variety of habitat types including hardwood bottomlands, marshlands, and early successional areas that support a healthy fish population. Despite historical water quality concerns, improvements have made this creek an increasingly productive fishery. The creek provides opportunities throughout the year, though it remains underutilized compared to its potential.
