• Where to Fish on Round Lake

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. Being tidal, the water moves twice a day, and the fishing moves with it. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. Work Round Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it.
