Leisure Lake Fishing near Taylor, Alabama

• Overview

  Look for Leisure Lake in Montgomery County, Alabama. The bank is 312 feet above sea level. At 16 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. Size puts it in the front rank of our Montgomery County list. The closest town, Taylor, is 9.7 miles away. Pike Road lies 15 miles off, Montgomery another 18 miles. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Leisure Lake

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Records collected within a few miles name backwater darter, green sunfish and redspot darter. The records cover the area rather than this water alone. On Leisure Lake the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 81°F and January about 47°F. Summer heat is the limit here, not winter cold. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. Leisure Lake runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. Catfish want bait on the bottom: cut bait or worms, a simple running rig, and patience after dark. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Lake Ta-lale at 0.2 miles is the sensible second choice. Treat Leisure Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
