Hard light and clear air over the water, with a firm WSW blow as pressure builds. On Cub Lake, work sheltered bays and points first. Block out the hours from night into morning. Cover water early, then settle where the signs are. Fish follow the bait in autumn, so find one to find the other.

Cub Lake is one of the Noble County listings for Indiana. Country round the bank runs to pine and birch. Supplies mean a trip to Tri-Lakes, 5.9 miles off. Albion lies 7 miles off, North Webster another 9.9 miles. Nearby alternatives: Little Cub Lake some 0.2 miles off, Bear Lake 0.7 miles off, Wolf Lake some 1.2 miles off, Harroff Lake 1.3 miles off and High Lake some 1.4 miles off. The county line runs close by, so rules can change within a short drive.
Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Fish documented in Noble County include bluegill, largemouth bass, warmouth, pumpkinseed and logperch. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. Cub Lake repays a walk before the first cast.
Long-term averages put July at about 72°F and January near 22°F. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough late March. The water is typically free of ice between late March and late December. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Expect Cub Lake to follow that timing.
Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Launching is at Bear Lake Public Access, about half a mile away. The car has to stay half a mile away, which shapes how much tackle you bring. There are toilets mapped about half a mile away. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Little Cub Lake at 0.2 miles is the sensible second choice. Nothing here settles the position at Cub Lake for certain.
