Grindle Lake Fishing in Kosciusko County, Indiana

• Overview

  Grindle Lake is listed under Kosciusko County, Indiana. The country here is lake country bush. This is a pocket water of some 20 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. Supplies mean a trip to North Webster, 1.7 miles off. It is 32 miles to Fort Wayne, the nearest city. Being near a boundary, it pays to know which side you are fishing.

• Where to Fish on Grindle Lake

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. County-wide records name bluegill, yellow perch, largemouth bass and logperch. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. On Grindle Lake the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 72°F on average, January about 23°F. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Count the season from break-up, usually late March. Break-up near late March, freeze-up near late December: that is the shape of an average year. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. The season on Grindle Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. Public data records a boat ramp half a mile out. Parking is not close: half a mile from the bank, and no nearer option is mapped. A jetty or pier is mapped about half a mile from here. There is a marked fishing area half a mile from here. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Goldeneye Pond sits 0.5 miles off and takes the overflow. Nothing here settles the position at Grindle Lake for certain.
