Glendale Lake Fishing Guide, Grant County, Indiana

• Overview

  In Indiana, Glendale Lake belongs to Grant County. It sits at 850 feet above sea level. Head to Jonesboro, 2.8 miles away, for anything you forgot. The nearest city of size is Fort Wayne, 52 miles away. Water in the same corner: Brookhaven Addition Lake at 3.3 miles, Lincoln Country Club Lake the better part of 5.6 miles, Wagner Lake at 6.6 miles, Sports Lake the better part of 7.2 miles and Jim Lake at 12 miles. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Glendale Lake

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Reported across Grant County: blackside darter, longear sunfish, common carp, johnny darter and white sucker. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. Work Glendale Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 73°F and January reads 24°F. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near mid March. Break-up near mid March, freeze-up near late December: that is the shape of an average year. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. At Glendale Lake the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. The nearest car park is half a mile from the water. For the carp, bait a margin spot and sit on it; corn and bread still work. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Should this one be busy, Brookhaven Addition Lake is 3.3 miles off. The position on Glendale Lake is worth confirming on the day.
