Deerwood Lake Fishing near Jasper, Indiana

• Overview

  Deerwood Lake sits in Dubois County, out in Indiana. It stands 525 feet above sea level. At 10 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. Ground here is low by Indiana standards. Some 4.7 miles away sits Jasper, the nearest settlement. Further out sit Huntingburg (11 miles) and Loogootee (15 miles). The boundary is close enough to be worth checking before you fish.

• Where to Fish on Deerwood Lake

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Fish documented in Dubois County include longear sunfish, bluegill, green sunfish, white crappie and channel catfish. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. Read Deerwood Lake before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 30°F to 76°F. A lid forms in a hard winter only. Some winters give nothing at all, so plan for open water. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. Expect Deerwood Lake to follow that timing. Settled weather over several days beats a single fine one.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Izaak Walton Lake, 0.4 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. What applies at Deerwood Lake may have changed since it was mapped.
