Woodland Addition Lake Fishing in Hamilton County, Indiana

• Overview

  The Hamilton County end of Indiana holds Woodland Addition Lake. Land around it is rolling hill. About 7 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. On size it sits at the modest end of our Hamilton County list. For supplies, Carmel is 2.4 miles out. For a city, Indianapolis is 12 miles off. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Woodland Addition Lake

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Hamilton County records list bluegill, orangethroat darter and green sunfish among the fish reported. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. The near bank of Woodland Addition Lake is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 75°F in July and bottom out at 26°F in January. A lid forms in a hard winter only. Hard water here is never dependable, so check for yourself before stepping out. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. It holds true on Woodland Addition Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. There is somewhere to leave the car, half a mile off. A pier or jetty stands 50 yards away, which helps on a crowded bank. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Failing this one, try Lake Woodland, 0.4 miles away. Check the position on Woodland Addition Lake before loading the car.
