New Harmony Mine Pond, Indiana: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  New Harmony Mine Pond lies in Sullivan County, in Indiana. Beyond the shoreline you have rolling hill. Surface area runs to about 12 acres — small enough to read in one session. It is low-lying compared with other Indiana water we list. Sullivan is the closest town at 5.2 miles. Linton lies 8.3 miles off, Shelburn another 8.5 miles. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on New Harmony Mine Pond

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Across Sullivan County, recorded fish include bluegill, green sunfish, johnny darter, longear sunfish and white sucker. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. New Harmony Mine Pond repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 76°F in July and bottoms out near 28°F in January. Spring and autumn are the strongest, but nothing is truly closed. Some winters give nothing at all, so plan for open water. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. Plan around that when you fish New Harmony Mine Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. There is a slipway on the shore, 0.9 miles from the water we list. Catfish want bait on the bottom: cut bait or worms, a simple running rig, and patience after dark. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. If the gate is shut, Reservoir South at 0.3 miles is the nearest alternative. Signs at New Harmony Mine Pond carry more weight than any list.
