A hotspot, or in this instance, a cool spot within Ouabache State Park's emerald embrace, Kunkel Lake is an aquatic gem awaiting discovery. Situated within scenic prospects, its glassy surface reflects the verdant forest that hugs its shores, making for an incredible sight. A variety of fish including Bluegill, Channel Catfish and Largemouth Bass can be found. A preferred spot for anglers chasing bass and bluegill in the vicinity of the Huntington area, it is also tranquil and teeming with wildlife. With picnic areas, parking, boating ramps, and lovely paved trails for hiking and biking, the lake is a family-friendly spot with ample peace. Anglers headed to Kunkel Lake in Ouabache State Park near Bluffton must follow a largemouth bass rule concerning fish size and the daily bag limit this spring. For Kunkel Lake, the minimum size limit for keeping a largemouth is 18 inches, and no more than two bass may be taken daily. The rule went into effect in 2015 after a bass and bluegill restocking project in 2013. Now, any bass less than 18 inches long must be returned unharmed to the lake. By protecting big bass, biologists hope to maintain good bass fishing and keep the bluegill reproduction in check. In the past, bluegills overran the 25-acre impoundment. Their large population resulted in slow growth and most bluegills were just too small to interest the anglers. Biologists say ensuring a dense bass population should also help keep carp and other unwanted fish from overtaking the lake.
