Lamb Lake near Trafalgar: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Lamb Lake lies in Brown County, in Indiana. Beyond the shoreline you have rolling hill. At some 255 acres it is far too large to cover on foot in a day. There is roughly 5.4 miles of bank, more than one visit can cover properly. It is among the larger waters listed here for Brown County. Trafalgar sits 4.3 miles from the bank. The nearest city of size is Indianapolis, 29 miles away. Rules can differ a short way off, since the county line is near.

• Where to Fish on Lamb Lake

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Brown County records list bluegill, channel catfish, green sunfish, longear sunfish and white crappie among the fish reported. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. At Lamb Lake light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 27°F in January and 74°F in July. A long season, with weather mattering more than the month. It is not guaranteed from one year to the next. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. Lamb Lake runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Part of this sits inside or beside Laura Hare Preserve at Blossom Hollow, so read the notices. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. Some banks are open only from a marked point. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. The nearest alternative is Earlham Lake, 0.8 miles out. None of that is settled for Lamb Lake in what we hold.
