Griffith Lake Fishing in Kent County, Delaware

• Overview

  You will find Griffith Lake in Kent County, Delaware. Country round the bank runs to open valley. Roughly 39 acres: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. The full circuit measures close to 1.4 miles on foot. The nearest town is Milford, 2.3 miles away. Baltimore is the closest city, 66 miles away. A county boundary sits nearby, which can matter for local access rules.

• Where to Fish on Griffith Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Species logged across Kent County include white perch, American eel and common carp. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Griffith Lake fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 76°F; the cold one sits at 34°F. Most months fish reasonably, given the right weather. Hard water here is never dependable, so check for yourself before stepping out. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. Plan around that when you fish Griffith Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. You can launch: the ramp is half a mile away. Parking is close: a car park sits half a mile from the bank. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Failing this one, try Haven Lake, 1 mile away. Ask locally about Griffith Lake if anything is unclear.
