Powell Pond, Indiana: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Look for Powell Pond in the Greene County part of Indiana. Elevation runs to 528 feet. Small at around 13 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. It lies lower than most water we list in Indiana. Some 2.5 miles away sits Jasonville, the nearest settlement. Linton is 7.8 miles and Shelburn 9.3 miles. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Powell Pond

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Public occurrence data for Greene County names bluegill, black crappie and warmouth. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. Fish Powell Pond where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 76°F and January about 27°F. The year gives four workable seasons without severe ends. In milder years the edges alone go, and the middle never sets. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. Plan any trip to Powell Pond around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. For the panfish, a small hook, a float and a piece of worm outfish everything fancy. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Lake Lenape at 2.2 miles is the sensible second choice. Confirm access to Powell Pond locally before you travel.
