Fishing at Cauthen Lake Number Two, Montgomery County, Alabama

• Overview

  The Montgomery County entry here is Cauthen Lake Number Two, in Alabama. This is open plain country. At 11 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. Taylor at 8.9 miles is the nearest place to stop. Pike Road lies 17 miles off, Montgomery another 19 miles. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Cauthen Lake Number Two

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Biodiversity records within roughly six miles include backwater darter, green sunfish, redspot darter and black bullhead. Reporting is uneven, so absence from the list means little. Read Cauthen Lake Number Two for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 81°F in July and bottom out at 47°F in January. Winter here means light layers, not lost months. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. On Cauthen Lake Number Two the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Should this one be busy, Rutland Pond is 0.2 miles off.
