Whispering Wind Lake in Morgan County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  You will find Whispering Wind Lake in Morgan County, Indiana. Everything around it is mixed woodland. Small at around 10 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it.

• Where to Fish on Whispering Wind Lake

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Morgan County records list orangethroat darter, longear sunfish, rainbow darter and greenside darter among the fish reported. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. At Whispering Wind Lake the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 26°F to 74°F. Ice comes and goes from one year to the next. Cover comes and goes, so treat it with suspicion rather than trust. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. The season on Whispering Wind Lake follows the weather closely. A settled spell fishes better than a bright one.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. For the panfish, a small hook, a float and a piece of worm outfish everything fancy. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Lake Maxine at 2.8 miles is the sensible second choice. Nothing on Whispering Wind Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
