Wyandotte Lake near Corydon: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Crawford County, Indiana, is where Wyandotte Lake sits. The water sits 433 feet up. At 4 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. By elevation it sits in the lower part of our Indiana listings. Corydon lies 9.8 miles from the water. The big place round here is Louisville, 29 miles distant. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Wyandotte Lake

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Crawford County records list orangethroat darter, fantail darter, rainbow darter and johnny darter among the fish reported. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. At Wyandotte Lake light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 76°F for July and 31°F for January. Ice comes and goes from one year to the next. Cover comes and goes, so treat it with suspicion rather than trust. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. Anyone fishing Wyandotte Lake regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. Bluegill and other panfish take small jigs or worms under a float near any cover. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. English Water Supply Dam at 9.3 miles is the sensible second choice. Ask locally about Wyandotte Lake if anything is unclear.
