Fishing at Cleveland Pond, Knox County, Indiana

• Overview

  This water sits in Knox County, Indiana. It lies 538 feet above sea level. About 7 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Ground here is low by Indiana standards. Bicknell lies 4.7 miles from the water. Evansville sits 56 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Cleveland Pond

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Species logged across Knox County include bluegill, spotted bass and freshwater drum. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Cleveland Pond responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 28°F to 76°F. Seasons here are moderate, and the fishing runs most of the year. It is not guaranteed even in a cold spell, so check yourself. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. On Cleveland Pond the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Should this one be busy, Rod and Gun Club Lake is 0.6 miles off. For Cleveland Pond, the notice at the access point is the final word.
