Timberlake Pond Fishing in Perry County, Indiana

• Overview

  Timberlake Pond lies in Perry County, in Indiana. Elevation runs to 604 feet. Small even by pond standards, it rewards one careful line. Most waters listed here for Perry County are larger. The closest town, Tell City, is 6.2 miles distant. After that come Cannelton at 7 miles and Hawesville at 8 miles. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Timberlake Pond

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Across Perry County, recorded fish include fantail darter, johnny darter and largemouth bass. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Treat Timberlake Pond as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 77°F and January reads 31°F. Temperature moves within a narrow band, and so does the fishing. In milder years the edges alone go, and the middle never sets. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. That shapes the year on Timberlake Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Failing this one, try Echo Valley Lake, 4.8 miles away. Ask locally about Timberlake Pond if anything is unclear.
