Fish species in Hide-Away Lake

Hide-Away Lake is a lake in Butler County, but a dependable surface-area figure was not found. Dependable maximum-depth and storage-volume figures were not found for Hide-Away Lake, so neither should be estimated from a similarly named lake.

What to Expect at Hide-Away Lake

Without trustworthy acreage or depth figures for Hide-Away 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 Hide-Away Lake

Fish reported from Hide-Away Lake include bluegill, brown bullhead, largemouth bass, and longear sunfish.

Bass

When largemouth bass hold tight to cover on Hide-Away Lake, a compact jig or weedless worm is more useful than repeated open-water casts.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

Use a tiny jig or natural bait under a float when fishing Hide-Away Lake for bluegill and related sunfish.

Catfish, Bullheads and Carp

Bullheads at Hide-Away Lake will take worms and small pieces of cut bait presented close to soft bottom.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Hide-Away Lake

Start with the best-looking shallow cover during the first hour, then move to the nearest drop if the bank is quiet on Hide-Away Lake. Then compare natural weed edges, shaded shoreline and changes from soft to firm bottom around Hide-Away Lake before searching the middle.

When to Fish Hide-Away Lake

Early spring on Hide-Away Lake calls for a slow presentation near the first break outside protected water. At midday in summer, Hide-Away Lake anglers should slow down beside shade, weeds or a nearby depth change. Fall on Hide-Away Lake is a good time for small crankbaits and swimbaits around moving forage.
