Amazon Lake is a reservoir in Indiana, near Owen County.
Amazon Lake is a reservoir in Owen County, Indiana. Amazon Lake covers about 36 acres and holds about 613 acre-feet.
Amazon Lake was made by holding back a river or creek, making the old channel, bends and quiet coves sensible places to begin.
Fish reported from Amazon Lake include black crappie, bluegill, channel catfish, largemouth bass, and redear sunfish.
For bass at Amazon, fish weeds, wood and shade with a spinnerbait, jig or Texas-rigged worm for largemouth.
For panfish at Amazon, use a small jig or minnow beside brush for crappie, and fish a worm, cricket or tiny jig near weeds for bluegill, redear or other sunfish.
For bottom fishing at Amazon, put cut bait, a nightcrawler or prepared bait on bottom for channel catfish.
On a first trip to Amazon, check incoming water, one bend in the old channel and a point near deep water with a moving lure, then slow down with a jig or worm where you get a bite.
Spring around Amazon is a good time to check warm coves and incoming water, and summer is a good time to fish shade, weeds and the first drop into deeper water. Fall around Amazon can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
