Egenolf Lake near Nashville: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Within Monroe County, Indiana, you have Egenolf Lake. The bank is 679 feet above sea level. About 22 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. 9.3 miles away sits Nashville, the nearest town. Beyond it, Bloomington at 10 miles and Martinsville at 11 miles. You are close to a county edge here; who manages the access can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Egenolf Lake

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Public occurrence data for Monroe County names bluegill, longear sunfish, rock bass and channel catfish. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Fish Egenolf Lake to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 27°F to 74°F. A long season, with weather mattering more than the month. In milder years the edges alone go, and the middle never sets. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. Plan around that when you fish Egenolf Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Lake Lemon at 1.3 miles is the sensible second choice. Treat access at Egenolf Lake as something to verify.
