Lambert Lake near Mooresville: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Out in Morgan County, Indiana, sits Lambert Lake. The country here is open valley. About 2 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. It is a small entry by Morgan County standards. Nearest town is Mooresville, 3.1 miles off. For a city, Indianapolis is 13 miles off. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Lambert Lake

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. County-wide records name orangethroat darter, longear sunfish, rainbow darter, greenside darter and white sucker. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. At Lambert Lake the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 26°F and July at about 75°F, the water has a wide range to work through. Whether it freezes depends on the year. It should never be assumed safe, whatever the month says. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. On Lambert Lake the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. Parking sits half a mile out, which makes for a walk with tackle. Bluegill and other panfish take small jigs or worms under a float near any cover. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Arens Lake, 1 mile away, makes the obvious fallback. Confirm access to Lambert Lake locally before you travel.
