Guide To Fishing At Tippecanoe Lake

AKA: Lake Tippecanoe

What to fish for...

Fishing for largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, black crappie, walleye, bluegill, yellow perch, striped bass, muskies and northern pike at Tippecanoe Lake in Indiana.

Located in the north central part of the state, at Oswego, IN, Tippecanoe Lake is an 880 acre reservoir surrounded by lovely waterfront homes. Most of these homes have private boat docks. These docks, and the vegetation lining the remainder of the shoreline, are excellent cover for all species of fish. Keying on these cover elements can be the answer to locating shallow fish, particularly bass.

Ice fishing during winter at Tippecanoe Lake can often produce nice catches. Check with local officials for authorization and Indiana DNR for regulations before attempting to fish through the ice on any lake.
