Chase Lake Fishing near Newburgh, Indiana

• Overview

  Chase Lake sits in Warrick County, out in Indiana. Mixed woodland runs right down to the water. The water measures roughly 3 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. It lies lower than most water we list in Indiana. Supplies mean a trip to Newburgh, 2.5 miles off. Evansville sits 11 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. Two sets of local rules meet not far from this water.

• Where to Fish on Chase Lake

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Open biodiversity records for Warrick County list bluegill, channel catfish, green sunfish and longear sunfish. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Anyone new to Chase Lake should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 32°F to 78°F. Mild ends to the year keep the season long. It is not guaranteed from one year to the next. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. The season on Chase Lake rarely departs from it. The week either side of a change of season often fishes hardest.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. The car has to stay half a mile away, which shapes how much tackle you bring. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Failing this one, try Pfafflin Lake, 1.4 miles away. Signs at Chase Lake carry more weight than any list.
