C Moore Lake, Indiana: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  C Moore Lake is set in Montgomery County, Indiana. This is open valley country. This is a pocket water of some 4 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Montgomery County. Rockport lies 10 miles from the water. Rockville lies 11 miles off, Crawfordsville another 16 miles. You are close to a county edge here; who manages the access can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on C Moore Lake

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Fish documented in Montgomery County include orangethroat darter, rainbow darter and smallmouth bass. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. The near bank of C Moore Lake is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 25°F in January and 74°F in July. Whether it freezes depends on the year. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. Plan any trip to C Moore Lake around it. The week either side of a change of season often fishes hardest.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Look for a notice board at the entrance. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Lake Waveland, 1.6 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Confirm access to C Moore Lake locally before you travel.
