• Where to Fish on Harmons Lake

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Public occurrence data for Greene County names bluegill, black crappie and warmouth. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. The shape of Harmons Lake rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 76°F at the top of summer and 27°F at the bottom of winter. Neither winter nor summer shuts things down for long. Hard water here is never dependable, so check for yourself before stepping out. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. Time your trip to Harmons Lake by conditions rather than dates.
