This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Dream Lake

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Open biodiversity records for Warren County list brown trout, brook trout, pumpkinseed and yellow perch. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Read Dream Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 19°F and July at about 70°F, the water has a wide range to work through. Hard water is a season in its own right here. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough early April. Break-up sits around early April on average, with the water closing again about mid December. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. Plan any trip to Dream Lake around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. There is a car park half a mile from the bank. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Should this one be busy, Lake Sunnyside is 0.4 miles off.
