Suhre Lake, Indiana: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Suhre Lake lies in Bartholomew County, Indiana. It sits at 636 feet above sea level. It covers about 9 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. 3.5 miles away sits Columbus, the nearest town. The nearest city of size is Indianapolis, 42 miles away. The nearest boundary is a fair way off. There is room enough here for more than one party without crowding.

• Where to Fish on Suhre Lake

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Species logged across Bartholomew County include longear sunfish, orangethroat darter and bluegill. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. On Suhre Lake the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 76°F and January near 28°F. Seasons here are moderate, and the fishing runs most of the year. 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. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Suhre Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. The closest car park is half a mile away, so pack accordingly. Bluegill and other panfish take small jigs or worms under a float near any cover. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. For a change of water, Terrace Lake is 6 miles distant. Nothing on Suhre Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
