Best bass fishing is around the numerous shallow weedbeds that are on the underwater hills and humps. The bottom is sand and gravel with many shallow humps in open water. There are smallmouth in Wawasee, as well as some Northern Pike. In the spring, many fish are caught in the canal and on Syracuse Lake, which connects with Wawasee via a canal. Topwater baits are very popular and succuessful in the early mornings.

Lake Wawasee Description
Take SR13 thru North Webster and follow signs. There is one concrete ramp on Wawasee with a barely adequate parking lot. There is also a state owned launching ramp on Lake Syarcuse. Nearly all tournaments launch from Wawasee.Wawasee is a 2,618 acre natural lake (largest natural lake in Indiana). There are many tournaments held here each year and a 12 inch limit of fish was very easy to obtain. Note: The legal limit for bass is now 14 inches. Boaters can use the free public boat ramp and parking area, located on the southeastern shore, Other options are several local marinas, which charge a nominal fee to use their private boat ramps. Also, boaters enjoy the convenience of four lakeside marinas for supplies, fuel, boat repairs and maintenance. You can also rent a fishing boat, pontoon boat, or personal watercraft (jet ski) at several locations on the lake.
Lake Wawasee, formerly Turkey Lake, is a natural lake southeast of Syracuse in Kosciusko County, Indiana, United States. It is the largest natural lake in Indiana.
