Fish species in Lindy Lake

Lindy Lake is a reservoir in Passaic County, but a dependable acreage figure was not found. Dependable maximum-depth and storage-volume figures were not found for Lindy Lake, so those measurements should not be guessed.

What to Expect at Lindy Lake

Without trustworthy acreage or depth figures for Lindy Lake, the safest approach is to read the water in front of you instead of assuming it fishes like another lake with the same name.

Fish and Useful Baits at Lindy Lake

Fish reported from Lindy Lake include black crappie, bluegill, chain pickerel, channel catfish, largemouth bass, and yellow perch.

Bass

A spinnerbait, square-bill and Texas rig cover the most useful largemouth situations on Lindy Lake.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

A soft-plastic minnow or live minnow placed beside cover is a sound crappie approach on Lindy Lake. For sunfish on Lindy Lake, keep a cricket or tiny jig close to weed edges and shaded wood. For Lindy Lake yellow perch, work a light jig slowly along the first firm-bottom break.

Chain Pickerel

A spoon or compact swimbait worked beside weeds is a practical chain pickerel choice on Lindy Lake.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Lindy Lake

Compare one protected bank with one windblown bank before deciding which side deserves the afternoon on Lindy Lake. Then compare the incoming-water end of Lindy Lake with the dam side and any point that reaches the old channel.

When to Fish Lindy Lake

A sunny spring afternoon can pull Lindy Lake fish toward dark bottom, wood and new vegetation. Summer fish in Lindy Lake may feed shallow at dawn before settling beside cover or deeper structure. Cooling water can bring Lindy Lake fish back to points and banks where bait gathers.
