Stoneybrook Farm Lake Fishing Guide, Warren County, Ohio

• Overview

  In Ohio, Stoneybrook Farm Lake belongs to Warren County. The country here is open valley. This is a pocket water of some 5 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. For supplies, Waynesville is 0.9 miles out. Dayton sits 17 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Stoneybrook Farm Lake

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Survey and observation records for Warren County include bluegill, gizzard shad and green sunfish. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. At Stoneybrook Farm Lake light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 74°F; the cold one sits at 27°F. The swings are modest, so patterns change slowly. Cover comes and goes, so treat it with suspicion rather than trust. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. At Stoneybrook Farm Lake the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. The car has to stay half a mile away, which shapes how much tackle you bring. Overnight stays are possible about half a mile out, where camping is mapped. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. If the gate is shut, Poore Pond at 0.8 miles is the nearest alternative. For Stoneybrook Farm Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
