Owensville Lake Fishing Guide, Clermont County, Ohio

• Overview

  You will find Owensville Lake in Clermont County, Ohio. Land around it is rolling hill. About 4 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Batavia lies 2.7 miles from the water. Cincinnati is the closest city, 19 miles away. Other water within reach: Sumner Pond within 2 miles, Damms Lake roughly 2.4 miles, Wiemeyer Pond within 3.2 miles, Arrowhead Lake roughly 3.5 miles and Clermont NE School Lake within 3.5 miles. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Owensville Lake

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Public occurrence data for Clermont County names smallmouth bass, bluegill, rainbow darter, longear sunfish and spotted bass. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. At Owensville Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 28°F in January and 74°F in July. The swings are modest, so patterns change slowly. It is not guaranteed from one year to the next. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Owensville Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. The nearest mapped parking is half a mile away, so the last stretch is on foot. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Sumner Pond, 2 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. What applies at Owensville Lake may have changed since it was mapped.
