• Where to Fish on End Brook Lake

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Species logged across Warren County include orangethroat darter, bluegill and fantail darter. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. At End Brook Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 28°F in January up to 77°F in July. Whether it freezes depends on the year. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. Anyone fishing End Brook Lake regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Lake Lucern Boat Launch provides a boat ramp about half a mile away. For the panfish, a small hook, a float and a piece of worm outfish everything fancy. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. If the gate is shut, Lake Lucern at 0.2 miles is the nearest alternative. Check the position on End Brook Lake before loading the car.
