Full sun on the water today, with a useful WSW wind pushing food about and pressure easing off. Start the search at Long Lake along the shallows early and the drop later. The useful hours run night into morning. Trust the forecast and stay out through the window. Autumn fish are feeding up and less fussy than in summer.
The bites are excellent now

Kosciusko County in Indiana is where Long Lake sits. The water sits 919 feet up. This is a pocket water of some 18 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. Some 1.7 miles away sits North Webster, the nearest settlement. After that come Syracuse at 6.6 miles and Milford at 9.4 miles. A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork.
Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Reported across Kosciusko County: bluegill, yellow perch, largemouth bass and logperch. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. Long Lake repays a walk before the first cast.
Seasonal averages run from 23°F in January up to 72°F in July. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about late March. Climate averages put the opening at about late March and the closing near late December. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. Expect Long Lake to follow that timing.
The access position is unclear from public sources. Public data records a boat ramp half a mile out. There is somewhere to leave the car, half a mile off. There is a pier recorded roughly half a mile away. There is a marked fishing area half a mile from here. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. For a change of water, Wyland Lake is 0.4 miles distant. Treat access at Long Lake as something to verify.
