• Where to Fish on Lake Mohee

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Records held for Blackford County cover green sunfish, johnny darter, longear sunfish and orangespotted sunfish. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. The shape of Lake Mohee rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 73°F, with January the cold end at about 24°F. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. Count the season from break-up, usually mid March. Average temperatures cross freezing around mid March in spring and again near late December in autumn. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. It sets the rhythm of the year at Lake Mohee.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. Bluegill and other panfish take small jigs or worms under a float near any cover. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Failing this one, try Lake Placid, 6.3 miles away. The position on Lake Mohee is worth confirming on the day.
