Lake Dalecarlia is a reservoir in Lake County, Indiana. Lake Dalecarlia covers about 162 acres and holds about 2,590 acre-feet.
Lake Dalecarlia was made by holding back a river or creek, making the old channel, bends and quiet coves sensible places to begin.
Fish reported from Lake Dalecarlia include black crappie, bluegill, channel catfish, common carp, gizzard shad, largemouth bass, northern pike, white crappie, and yellow perch.
For bass at Dalecarlia, fish weeds, wood and shade with a spinnerbait, jig or Texas-rigged worm for largemouth.
For panfish at Dalecarlia, 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, and keep a small jig, minnow or worm close to bottom for yellow perch.
For large predators at Dalecarlia, cast a spoon, spinnerbait or swimbait beside weeds for northern pike.
For bottom fishing at Dalecarlia, put cut bait, a nightcrawler or prepared bait on bottom for channel catfish, and use corn or dough bait on a simple bottom rig for carp.
On a first trip to Dalecarlia, 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 Dalecarlia 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 Dalecarlia can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
